A bunch have asked me for the measurements of my Epic car ramps.

These suckers are big and heavy, and aren't any fun to move at all, and they don' shrink down for storage, but I cannot think of anything safer.

My neighbor borrows them too...

Anyway, this is what I mean (This is the early version; I since made them taller):





Current version - note they are now "7 boards tall" and have a 2x4 safety stop.





Recipe:

All boards are 2 x 12's , except for the top "Stop block", which is a 2x4

You need:

(2) 95" long 2x12's - These are your bottom boards.
(2) 82" long boards
(2) 69" long boards
(2) 56" long boards
(2) 43" long boards
(2) 30" long boards
(2) 17" long boards
(2) 2x4's cut to the width of the ramp as a "top stop".

Each subsequent board is cut 13" shorter then the bottom board. This keeps your chin spoiler from hitting the ramps while you drive up.
So...you screw the stack together, in order, the following boards on top of the above 95" long board:


Put another way, your stack looks like this. Repeat for your second ramp.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx43"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx56"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx6 9"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx82"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx95"

I have also added casters to mine to aid in moving them around. Maybe I'll whip up a video later on this weekend.

I use a piece of 4x4 as a tire block to keep the car from rolling backward, and I also chock the rear wheels unless the rear is raised, then I support the rear axles with jack-stands.
