Subject: Re: advice needed on getting lowered car up alignment ramp by BillH on 2014/7/31 14:16:44 Most alignment racks have hinged ramps which males this easy to do. We do the same thing every time we load ANY race car into the trailer. First, you need to raise the airdam by driving on to the 2 x 8. Second you need to decrease the angle of the ramps. You put the 2 x 8's (2 x 10's or 2 x 12's if you can't steer straight) under the front edge of the ramp. This decreases the ramp angle. It may take 2 - 2 x 8's stacked on top of each other. If you do some of your own work at home, you should have a set of these anyway so you can jack the front end up using the crossmember. A piece of plywood under the 2 x 8 holds the 2 x 8 in place while you drive up on them. Pic 1 - Mine Pic 2 - Shows how the ramps decrease the ramp angle. We use these Race ramps with the Formula Atlantic that has a ground clearance of 25mm. Yours for only $290.00  |
