The easy way to getting an SVT on ramps...

[CSVT_2004]

Little mod my dad made for my bro and I.

Lineing it all up...

Double check....

OOOoooo Close....

And up on the ramps at last...

Railroad ties are you friend....

Cut grooves and bolts so they "hook" into the metal ramps...

Nice huh!?

 

[IRingTwyce]

Well done!

Of just buy a set of Rhino ramps. I gave away my metal ramps after I got some Rhino ramps.

You should've seen the wooden ramp forest at SZ last year backing mark's svt up to check the exhaust.

My only issue with that is if you go too far, you're done! Should implement some sort of stopper at the edge.

The edges have enough of a rise that you know when you hit the edge.

Usually have a spotter for that, my bro usually, and vice versa..

Don't have an SVT but have been using ramps for 17 years and have not have an issue going past the ramps yet. For an automatic, I keep my left foot on the brake pedal to control it. For a manual transmission, I put my right toes near (or on) the brake pedal and heel on the gas pedal (horizontal foot). But the way I usually "cheat" is to park with driver's side to the right of another car. That way I can see the reflection on the side of the other car as I drive up the ramp.

With 2.5" of ground clearance, i don't care what you build I'm not getting on ramps.....nice tho.

 

[Ray]

Amen to that, Josh. It ain't gonna help!

 

[AliasJerk]

I just use a floor jack...

Needs less than 2" clearance to get up. I built them and they are very sturdy.

there is actually a company who designed and makes ramps made for lowered cars. its called raceramps.com. i saw them at sema and they were nice but expensive. but worth it if you have lowered cars. check it out.

I'll just use my low-pro jack right under the side skirt. 8 foot long ramps aren't my thing.

My Mirko will hit the second board before my tires get on the first, so i'd need the mirko 4" off the ground and I'm not into that.

Those are nice..... but freaking expensive!

I have some new ramps, same old style, different ramp to adapt to.

 

[Smalls]

wow. my svt has come a long way since this pic

 

[blu_fuz]

Yeah, you should never have touched it :blackeye:. Now it looks like poop with wheels .

 

[Pen_Two]

I don't feel like googling it...do they have low profile wheel ramps with a built in hydraulic jack to easily jack the car up?
