Default Ramps

Went to fit my front drop links today and had this issue



Anyone know of a set of ramps that have a smaller angle?

Thanks

Looks like a couple of blocks of wood in the corner of your garage. Get them under the wheels to help clear.

As joey turbo above - you only need a couple of flat bits of wood about two feet long to lift the front wheels 2 inches to get it to clear!

Cheers guys.

I'm scared of using blocks of wood in case they move, my luck says they would

Ramp extensions look like the way to go, didn't know you could get them. I've just seen a set of adjustable ramps on Ebay as well.

Thanks again.

Couldn't get any ramp extensions local and postage was expensive so I knocked some up. I managed to get some used L section for free so all it cost me was some welding rods and a cutting disc
