Rhino Ramps.
Price $32.30
Decent ramps that are good for giving you a lift of a couple of inches but that is about it. Their good if you need to do something like change the oil or work on anything on the front of the motor. Their are two version of these these ramps, the light weight version which are black and the heavy duty versions which are grey. The heavy duty version are a little bit bigger in every way and are designed to hold more weight, the heavy duty versions my cost $10 extra but their a good investment if your going with ramps.
The only cons I see to these ramps is the fact they give very little lift when compared to a floor jack. Like I said they give you enough height to tackle any thing on the front of the motor like the water pump or Opti and you can go far enough back to reach the oil filter.

What kind of problems are ya having with floor jacks? Mine fits fine and almost ever AC Delco floor jacks fit under my car, come to think of it I haven't seen a floor jack that cannot fit under a Camaro excapt for the heavy duty jacks.

I like them but the increase in height is not what I was looking for.

because my car sat lower that stock with the 17s on it, plus we do have regular jack and a heavy duty one.

I have a large Sears gift card and was thinking about buying two sets so I could lift up the entire car to install my subframe connectors since the car needs to have it's weight on the wheels. Do you think these would like the car up high enough.

Chad honestly I don't think it would work for you. I took the ramps back since I could do more with a floor jack and some jack stands. I recommend going to some hardware store like Lowes or home Depot and use some wood to make your own custom ramps. Matter of fact that is exactly what I used when I intalled my clear corners.

It looked like you had it pretty high. How much of a lift were you lookin for? They didn't scoot forward when you drove up? I had some that would slide across my garage floor before.
