Does anyone know of any type of ramps to use to get over the curb at the end of my driveway? The curbs in my neighborhood are rounded and are the same through out , even at the entery to my driveway. Anyone else with a similar problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

got pictures? if your car is stock, you shouldn't have any problems. i can make it over a lot of bumps and i am dropped.

 

Did you try to come in at an angle instead of straight in? That usually works for me.

 

enter at an angle, so the wheel meets the curb angle before the front-most edge of your bumper does

 

On friday I dropped a friend off and ended up scraping the underside a bit over this bumb which I undercompensated for. On the way back I made sure I entered at an angle. Damn speed bumps! anyways, point being angled entrances are the way to go. Now if your car is modified (ie. lowered + aftermarket bumberlips) then thats another story 'cause even if you entered angled, you may not necessarily be safe.

 

Photos appreciated.

 

I think I know what kind of ramp/curb you're talking about. I vote for making your own ramp or possibly just using sandbags.

You can easily build a ramp using some sheets of plywood, cutting them to various decreasing sizes, stacking them with the largest sheets on the bottom and nailing them together. A project like this should cost no more than $15 at the hardware store.

 

Found curb ramps at J and K Curb ramps. They are made out of recycled rubber.They are 2"x17"x4'. trust me there is no gettin in driveway without them. They're located in western Kentucky, real nice people.

 

you have a link?

i am currently using wooden planks to get in mine...pain in the butt

 

I first found them at eco-flex.com and they're called e-z drive curb ramps. They are located in Canada and it took them a week just to get back to me with a shiping cost. J and K curb ramps get they're ramps from eco-flex and cost less for shipping. Just go to j and k curb ramps .com . There are pics at both sites.

 

those ramps are great for anyone lowered with a kit with a steep driveway or garage entrance. great find railrd~!

 

+1...I just finished my ramps last night... My V1 lip only has about 3 1/2 clearance.. I used 12 inch wide by 3/4 thick pine wood boards. Stacked them 4 layers high. 1st layer is 31 inches long.. each layer is 5 inches shorter than the previous.. screwed them together with liquid nails inbetween. Works great. No more need for the factory $hitty jack to get the fram high enough for regular floor jack clearance.

 

+1 my in-law's neighbor made is own ramp out of some steel plate and bolted it into the ground so it is permanent. I'll take pics next time I am there.

 

here are those pics of the ramp
