It's kinda like the guy with a manual on FB saying he needed to pull over to the side of the road to get into the right drive mode...sometimes I shift from Drive to Sport and or back.
I’m going next week, have fun!!
Thanks for posting! Looks like they can accommodate a 285 tire just fine. Now I think I need a set…From comments and quotes within another thread, this morning I performed some training, product review and demo for Race Ramps.
The car: 2022 Mach 1, HP.
The tires: 285/35/19.
The product: https://www.raceramps.com/garage-service/ramps/race/p/rr-72-2/
Like most, I have a jack and stands. As I was getting ready for Skye, Race Ramps seemed like a good idea, that they might give me certain advantages over a jack for some things.
The Ford Mach 1 Supplement references towing and refraining from grades greater than 7% for an HP. The referenced product meets that requirement.
I purchased the ramps and stowed them. Until this morning, I'd never tried using them.
I noticed some were interested in how well they would work, so I tried them out today.
Yes, they work just fine. No issues. But do take note of the tire used above. The ramps are listed as having a width of 12" / 305mm. I most often use a 285 tire, which gives me room to spare. I also have a bit taller of a tire. While I had 1.5" / 38mm of clearance on initial entry, you might have something closer to 1" / 25 mm.
1. Put the car in a place where you want it, compensating for driving up onto the ramps. Ensure the ramps will be completely flat, on a flat surface.
2. Take one end and butt it against a tire. Using a measure, find a square point of reference and make sure the ramp is true, that it's not pointing left or right.
3. Do the same with the other ramp, using the measure to square it with the other, trued ramp.
I realize there will be some instances where you just eyeball it. You can do that. I realized while I was thinking, I could be off. Before using the steps above, while things looked "right", I checked the ramps; they were splayed outward by 1.5" / 38mm; this could have been fatal to the car.
4. Drive up. You'll notice the lip so you don't drive over. I simply drove onto them like entering a driveway. I actually used the gas a bit to "press" against the lip. Things went well. The surface is textured for traffic. No slipping.
I was left with about 18" / 457mm of clearance. No obstructions. And I can remove part of the ramp for even more space.
That may be a question better left unanswered.Wait a sec. What do you do with the short shifter on an auto gear box? Do you suggest that you actually touch (not even dare to think about moving) the stick when driving???
I should have gotten these when I ordered mine but just got the ones that only come up about 6 inches I want to say off the ground, oh well. I was afraid that set wouldn't work.From comments and quotes within another thread, this morning I performed some training, product review and demo for Race Ramps.

I have nothing but good things about them.
