Just curious as to what you guys use when working on your cars in terms of lifts and whatnot. Personally i have been using jack stands, but i think those drive up ramps might be easier.

 

I tried a set of ramps but they were too steep. I think ramps would be the way to go if you can get a set that are long and not too steep, otherwise you won't be able to clear it without really f'ing up the underside of your front bumper

 

yea...thats kinda what i was thinking.

 

Jackstands If you use those ramps you have to use wood or somehting to make it less steep

i think its time to convince my dad to put a lift in the farm shop

 

heck yes to self wrenching, and jackstands all the way

 

i work in a shop so i use a lift.

 

that's what i have to do at my parents house; wood to ramp, my dad has to do the same for his trans am.
i would love to to have an open pit style like the oil change places, so u can go underneath the slab to get at the undercarrige without using a lift. just a thought

 

a pit would be awesome as well...i just wish i had access to a lift. this is going to be my 3rd time pulling the engine/trans with nothing but jackstands....oh well! at least i dont have to pay someone!

 

why are u pulling the engine/trans? clutch?

 

I just bought a set of ramps with extensions from Griots Garage, if my car wasn't lowered, they would be perfect, right now they just barely rub. If you have stock suspension or only a 1 inch drop, check them out.
