If you run your truck up on ramps in order to work under it , get a heavier set than the ones i have:

 

That doesn't look real safe.

 

Safer than they were , it has less distance to fall now , tire is a little wide for the ramp too

 

was anyone under the truck when that happened??

ive never been able to bring myself to put my truck up on those and work underneath because of my fear of that happening

 

No , it wasn't even my truck that broke them , my fathers 2wd actually broke the ramps, i just rolled mine on there for a photo op. the ramps broke as we drove the truck up on them.

 

I had the samething happen to me with ramps just like that. are there any heavier duty ones out there?

 

I used to work for an oilfield service company...they used big ramps made from hardwood and would drive 5 ton trucks up on them

 

hmm I might just have to fabricate some ramps up now, heavy duty. good little project

 

would it be easier to buy a jack and some heavy duty jack stands, instead of making some ramps?

 

eh, probably.... but I love workin with metal

 

make some jack stands?

 

I put 315's on my Ram so I wouldn't have to use ramps.

I made some ramps for my Mack out of a 6x6 screwed to a 2x8. I used my planer to slope the approach. I've used them for years without any problems.

 

Just buy a rotary lift or somethin. It's alot better than havin to crawl under them all day long. (you know you want to buy one)!!!!

 

I use a set of heavy duty plastic ramps that I bought from AutoZone. I believe they're rated for 12,000 pounds. I've been using them for 3 years now and they show no signs of stress or fatigue.

They look like this except they're dark gray instead of black.



Also, if you are using ramps be sure you use some sort of wheel chocks behind the rear wheels.
