anyone know of any manufacturers making ramps that will clear the front bumper on a stock height GK fit ?
found out yesterday my old ramps wont work , the angle's a bit too steep

 

I have some harbor freight ones that clear without issue. Have you tried putting a couple short lengths of 2x4 in front of the ramp to get a little clearance? If it works that's a cheap fix.

 

 

Yeah. I bought an affordable heavy duty plastic set from somewhere, way more than adequate for the flyweight Fit.... (Autozone? WalMart? can't recall, as I hate both places ) They work fine on both ends of the GK, no clearance issues at all <edit> OK, I went and checked, apparently they're some form of Blitz USA ramps, bought at WalMart, according to a sticker on one of 'em … they work just fine. All bets are off if you're car is lowered

 

Been using a set of Rhino ramps for years for everything from our Fit to an F-150. Bought them about 15 years ago when my metal ones bent under load. Won't go back to metal. Happy with HD plastic.

 

 

On stock ride height, the truck rated rhino ramps from advanced auto work well, from Product Features:

• Portable automotive ramps with a rugged and structural design
• Provides reliable and convenient access to the underside of your vehicle as well as nestability for maximum storage space
• CoreTRAC non-skid base helps reduce slippage
• 17 degree incline provides easy use for low clearance vehicles
• 12,000 pound GVW
• For use with tires 9" in width
• Made in the U.S.A.

 

these are lowered car friendly, and I love them to death.

 

FYI, $50.99 as of right now, from amazon warehouse deal. imo, thats a good deal indeed

 

 

*Lowered hotwheels car with room for a lego person to work under it. lol

 

a little too low , wouldn't have any use for them , i'll check with harbor freight , thanks for the tip

 

I bought the Rhino ramps as well and used them for my one oil change to date. No issues.

If you want to jack the car up on wooden blocks THIS is how it's done (although I'd design the blocks to accommodate a hydraulic jack):

 

that’s clever but scary. there are jack stands that bridge over a hydraulic jack so dat u can lift using the factory jack points.

 

I went the DIY route:

haha the handle is a nice touch!

 

i picked a pair up at a local pep boys , 17 degree angle but it goes up to something like an 8 inch height , this will work
