Two feet :shocked:

At £80 that sounds like a bargain. Take some pics of them in use next time you use them so that we know what to look out for :wink:

Ill get some pics up today, they are amazing :), problem is that to get the hight they are rather long, which means te front splitter has to come off when driving up them :)
£80, the beauty of eBay!

I like them and have considered them myself. Like most people say i would never trust a set of ramps alone and would always back them up with axle stands or a tree stump or something.

Some of my more experienced mechanic mates wont use any ramps at all preferring to jack and use stands, i like ramps like i say and have used then for over 20 years with no problems.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Great ebay buy, well done. Have to say that I'm not a great fan of ramps but in conjunction with axle stands I can't see that you're going to go far wrong with them.
