Race Ramps

[TRM99]

When I purchased my lift, I looked at the QuickJack, MaxJax, two post lifts, and four post lifts. My wife and I share a garage, so I really didn't want anything permanently mounted in the garage. I ended up buying this. About twice as much as the QuickJack and I don't have to lay under the car any more.

Whose lift? How high is your ceiling at the point where your car is at?

Zero, pay attention to the bleeding procedure when setting them up. Also, call & buy from the company, not over the web.

I recently sold an older model of the 5000, for the same, new model. Reason lifts 2 inches higher.

An idea to keep in mind, youtube instructional talks about using a rag to mop up any hyd fluid bleeding the jacks.

You will be adding the fitting, I say build the jacks in the shipping box & bleed.

As the picture shows the hyd fluid was contained. It can take up to times to get all the air bled. The jacks will raise and lower at the same rate with all the air removed.

If they are not the jack that is slow still has air in the system.

Another tip lowering the jack, once down, press the up button for a sec, it will remove the line pressure and make the quick disconnect much easier to disconnect.

Great advice! Thanks for the pointers. I will be doing some research!

I saw that and was wondering how stable it was considering the design.

I think it's this one.

I bought these and use them on my gt350 https://shop.redline360.com/product...VyKK4-bAcGtMLp1N8Gy3i4p-r7605SuQaApVeEALw_wcB

Are those high enough to change oil.

I like my race ramps as they are light and seem durable....a little pricey though...worked well for my last car. I can't use a lift due to some interference on a portion of my garage.

I bought my Race Ramps back in 2012 to use with my GT500. I've also used them to get all four tires up on my Raptor. They are very strong for how light they are. Plus once you get the car up like in the picture, removing the ramp portion gives a lot of room to maneuver. I know they were expensive then, but I'm glad I spent the money. I haven't priced them since...lol.

Nice, especially since you have the ceiling height. I would barely get the posts into my garage.

Thank you!

I'm wondering what those Race Ramps are made of that make them so expensive. The prices are just ridiculous.

Unobtainium! or Chinese Plastic?

They’re made in the USA

Mine have held up very well under commercial conditions. I have been using them in my wash bay for the last 3 yrs.

In 2015 I paid $1900 for the Bendpak 6000# lift and $600 for the ramps. They sure have gone up.

Hello Mustang owners...

How do you work on the chassis or exhaust with that deal?

Ya don’t. My father has a lift similar. This type is great for Porsche owners though. But I couldn’t recommend this style. They lift like 4’ though.

Been using race ramps for at least a dozen years for oil changes and other stuff on my cars.. Line them up and carefully drive up, front or rear. Easy as pie, and light as a feather. The older I get, the more I appreciate them. They have added years to my maintenance fun.

HELLO!

Thanks for your opinion.

The thread was about Race ramps.

It's not a Mustang shop. Works well for most suspension and maintenance needs.
I use it for Ceramic installations and paint correction. Keeps things at eye `level.

I do a lot of different types.

You might say some like my work.

Amgo Hydraulics. Made in China, but very high quality. The Post is 9' tall and my ceiling is about 14' except for the beam that runs across the middle. The thing moves around like a pallet jack and weighs 2000 lbs. I use two underhoist stands on the side opposite the post to keep it from swaying at all.
