Auto Ramps
 

Your take? Worth it or????

I have a set but seldom use them. It is easier to throw the floor jack under the front jack point and pop it up and throw jack stands under the side points.

Walmart has them for very cheap if you want a set.

blocks of wood work just as well, but if you are fancy then those $$$$ are cool.

They're fine..just overkill. I'm sure they're pretty good..However, due to their crappy slogan on their front page, I'd pass.

I had a set of metal ones w/ the little fold out extensions for low cars... they sucked, as my car tended to just push them across the garage floor instead of driving up them, plus my 255 tires were wider than the ramps.

Usually, I just ended up jacking the car up, then jamming the ramps under the tires... i.e. using them as jack stands that went under the tires so I could work on my sway bar at normal ride-height.

When I moved, I left them behind 'cause they sucked. But the ramps you linked to aren't the same kind... maybe those are much better, but I've just given up on ramps and just use jackstands for everything.

I have plain old metal ramps that you'd find in any auto parts store. My neighbor sold them to me for $5 at his last garage sale. To kinda echo what everyone else has said, I only use them for working on the rear sway since you want weight on the wheels when removing or installing the rear sway or endlinks. I can only back onto it as the front bumper won't clear the steep incline. The ones you linked to probably wouldn't have that problem, but a nice floor jack with a full length handle is the only way to fly. You can jack up the car from the front jacking point under the motor, the rear diff, or for rotating front to back with directional tires, you can just jack up one side of the car from the front pinch weld and swap the tires on that side of the car. For oil changes, I simply drive up onto two 2X4's. I also use the 2X4 trick to get more height out of my floor jack...1 block under each front tire and one on the jack.
