Just go for something like this. (I'd love to have a ramp like this for oil changes.)

If overkill were a ramp! Those look pretty sweet. How’s the approach angle? I’d imagine we’d be tearing our air dam up trying to take our lowered truck up them.

I might end up building a set out of lumber. Long gradual incline would be nice.

There is a little rub on the way up and down, but I'll probably cut a few pieces of 3/4" plywood and set them in front, that would take care of it.
One day!!! Lol

@95burban what ramps do you have? Are they Race Ramps?

My dad has a pair that I got for his civic. I’ve put the ‘92 on them a couple times. They are nice.

They look like car lot ramps, made from 14in I beam. Stupid heavy, have to move them with a tractor.

Shout out to @caw_86 for the hookup. Packaging was great and they arrived safely.

A 4 post isn’t expensive I dont know how you guys live without one. I got my first 4 post 25 years ago for $1200 used.

that may be true, but the building to put it in is expensive.

I much prefer an asymmetrical two-post lift, especially a Rotary. Having a single-point release is extremely important to me. I'm working towards that goal because I'm not getting any younger.

I would love a 4 poster just to be able stack 2 cars in one space, but the garage is our main way in and out of the house and my wife would let me know every time it inconvenienced her.

The saddles from Tin Works were not adjustable, the hole in the saddle was big enough to accommodate the center bolt on the spring. It wasn’t a snug fit. The movement was very minor.

A snug fit is desired otherwise the axle will ty to shift forward and backward when you stop and start, it usually rewards you with a noise on braking and taking off. Like a pop.

No movement here. I would bet money that it’s the same as the BT saddle. They’re torqued tight and in 800 miles I’ll check them again.
