If you do, what's the price? I'm going to buy the 12" high version.

Thanks.

Seems like it would be tough to get the car up on something that tall though.

My floor jack has 20" of lift. I think it will make it. I'll have to go measure to be sure.
I guess it depends on where your lift point is. It might work in the rear, but the fronts would be tough.

When I changed out my transmission, I used a full sized jack with 2 pieces of 2X4's stacked on the jack to get it high enough to put the jackstands underneath at full extension. SO, I think you could make it work. I am going to get some of these once the car is fixed. I would really like a lift, however. That will be at my next house.....

+1... Just a few more months. :clap:

BTW, these blocks would be really nice to have with a lift for those times you need to do something with the suspension loaded. Use the lift to get the car in the air, and then set it down on the blocks. I had a bitch of a time torquing down the LCA bolts with the car sitting on the ground. Just not enough room to use the torque wrench.

+1000 Being lowered is cool, but it can be a bugger at times too.

Believe me, with a 2 inch drop, everything becomes harder. I have to roll the rear wheels onto pieces of 2x4 to even fit a jack under the rear end :angry1: It's frustrating

I know cinder blocks would work, but for me they are a bit ghetto/redneck. Plus, these are lighter! I'm not concerned about the money. They are within reason for me. I'm just trying to buy from a supporting vendor here. :thumb:

For fucks sake, I don't want to use cinder blocks. Maybe I'll change the title of my post to "Please offer suggestions on something that would work like these". I'll assume that no vendor here offers them and I'll just buy them direct from the company that makes them.

About 7 years ago I was helping my dad build an FFR cobra, and we kept seeing advertisements for a lift that you drove your car onto, and then used a regular floor jack to lift it about 3 or 4 feet in the air. I have been trying to find it for about 2 years, and I just cant. Anyone know what I am talking about? Might be a better option then this.

these things rock by the way. weigh next to nothing and they did a burnout on top of one of the ramps and it didnt even move the ramp so they dont slip around

I will definitely be getting a set of these this spring
