well i tried 2x8s and on our shops smooth contrete it just pushes them around on the rear. i tried posting all the info but the forum virus wont let me post to long..

dang 80bucks for those ramps. OUCH. gotta be something cheaper...

maybe if i used a 2x8 with some rubber screwed to it on the bottom. that should keep it from geting pushed around...

low pro jack works fine for me. never had a problem even with my oem mudguards that usually get in the way of the lift point.

luckily my jack fits under the car, but if you must, drive at an angle on a sidewalk
