Race ramps/rhino ramps?
Anyone own these? I'm thinking about ordering a set for oil changes and whatnot under the front of the car. Only thing is I thought the car had to be level for the oil to completely drain?

It should be fine using rhino ramps. I've used rhino ramps, as well as everyone else in my family, for oil changes for as long as I can remember. If you want to change your oil on a flat surface you're going to either need a lift or put all four corners of the car on jack stands. Even then, there would still be some old oil left.

My car is lowered, not slammed and i cant drive up my ramps with my front bumper attached. if i remove the bumper it makes it up, removing the front bumper is quick and easy. There are videos online that show you how to make home made extensions so you dont have to remove the front bumper.

I use ramps as well, they're pretty handy. To get the car level after driving up on the ramps I just use a jack under the rear differential, takes an extra few seconds but gets a little more oil out.
