DIY: Jack ramps for lowered cars
So after looking around at ramps that cost in excess of $150 just to raise your car a meer 3" i figured I'd make my own. So went to work, bought a 4X8 sheet of 3/4" OSB and 1 1/4" Coarse Drywall screws. I cut the OSB at work to these dimensions; 2 4'x1', 2 3'x1', 2 2'x1', 2 1'x1', and 4 2"x1' for stoppers on top. Cost me a total of $18. Then i put 4 screws in each board, after i pre-drilled, and i was done. I know I'm a cheap *** but this will raise the car up 3" and is raked out enough for cars with front lips and splitters for way less then those gay plastic ramps.

Good work Andrew! Very neat idea. I will do the same in Spring once the V2 goes on and my Rhinos become useless.
By the way all, HD and Lowes can also cut OSB into any dimensions. So if you don't have a table saw, don't fret.
