Race Ramps brand cribbing

'87 944 na

anyone try Race Ramp brand cribbing? any comments?

here's a link:

Car Ramps | Trailer Ramps | Display Ramps

was particularly interested in the cribbing, not the ramp things.

yes i own 16 sets of them along with two sets of trailer ramps and many other products of theres . i will be buying more for the other cars i own and just sit most of the time . they work good for street tires but with full race tires they do stick the the ramps after about a day or two . so with the race cars i still have to put them up on jack stands .
so do they work yes ! are they light as hell yes to that too . are they a little costly yes are they worth the money ?yes !

the flat spot stoppers are great they work!
i have the pit ramps too and they are good . i would not call them great but dam good . they do get the car off the ground about a foot or so . i will have to measure them to see just how high they are . you can get under the car !
the last time we had to get under at a race event was to repair the shift linkage on the trans when the bolt backed out on the trans and there was enough room to work on that . the other plus is the time it saved because we did not have to jack the car and place jack stands under it we just rolled the car on the ramps so it get us back into the race faster .
on my race cars there is not much you have to do on the under sides of the cars they all have flat bottoms . the ramps work good in that we can pull the rear diffusers off the cars . they run all the way up to the front seats being all one panel . because the ramps can be pulled apart and you are just left with the blocks under the tires it gives alot of room to move and work on things .

are they worth the 2500 dollars to me ? hell yes !

they have ramps for the scales also . i used to bring the aluminum ones for the scales to the track and they were a PITA to hail around . the races ramps are much better to bring to the track .

i'm very picky on the decals i will put on my race cars for free . i do have they decals on my LS7 944 and my D-sports car . because i have bought so many things from tham they do take 15% off list for me so as a thanks i did put the decals on my cars .

thanks for the interesting testimonal -

this thread might turn into one about raising the car, BUT

they have a 12-inch crib - can you get the wheels up 12 inches? I tried a floor jack that goes to 15-inches, but wheels only go to about 6 inches at best. also my shocks/struts are worn out.

also I looked at the portable pit stop - looks great, but $pain

i measured the hight of the track ramps they are not 12" but 14" .
they do work quight well . they are a little costly but i do think they are worth the money . at least they are for what i need them for . at the track i hate jacking up the car and putting stands under it .
one thing i do also like is the long approach angle to them my D-sports car is only 3.2" off the ground and the car goes right up the ramps .

for the record, I have an '87 944 na

I understand you have the portable pit stop, but was interested in knowing if you have put it on ramps on one end and cribs on the other? if so how did you lift it onto the cribs?
