Ramps for oil changes recommendation

[TheReelEss]

Not sure what topic this fits in. But I am in need of some ramps to do my own oil changes simply because I don't trust the kid at the local gas station. My Z28 is a tad lower than stock with chin spoiler. Does anyone have ramps they would recommend or steer clear of? Thanks.

I haven't found a ramp that will clear the front spoiler on mine. I do have 2" drop springs along with 245/45x17 tires on front. Hopefully someone has ramps that will work. Maybe the two piece kind with removable ramp part.

I made some ramps out of wood. A bit longer and lower than normal ramps

The only of the shelf option might be something by race ramps.

If you don’t want to make wooden ramps or the floor jack won’t get under the spoiler, then use the floor jack on the pass side of the front uni-body with a jack stand under the same side suspension.

I do it this way and it makes it easy to get almost all of the oil drained from the pan and it’s still high enough to swap the oil filter.

My 3 piece wooden ramps are backwards so they’re not in my way when I crawl under the car for doing clutch jobs or tranny R&R.

I use these ramps on my daily driver oil/filter changes and they work well.

I'm using these car ramps I got from autozone and they're made from composite compound and are lightweight and rated at 16k lbs

I lift the front of the car with a floor jack and place the ramps under both front tires . I've got plenty of room underneath even with a Moroso deep sump oil pan

I posted this here before but this is what I use. Clears the front spoiler on my Camaro and so are on all of our Daily Drivers.

That looks promising.

I got the Rhino ramps and my car has cleared the front spoiler on them.

I had a pair of those metal ones above but without the swing away and couldn’t use them on my 80 Z28. The front spoiler would hit and the worst thing they did was slide on the garage floor when you tried to drive up to them. So I sold them at a garage sale.

I gave up on ramps.

Floor jack and stands are all I use.
