i dont think they are 40 but if you ask infek hes got a set of lowered vehicle ramps and you might be able to find out where he got his. the rhinos dont look like they would fit under the front of a lowered vehicle.

If your car is too low for the rhino ramps try these (Takat LDS):

Try Munkywurks, I think they can get them for you or might have them in stock.

while my car isnt super low, it does clear the ramps...and as a reference, i cant get a 3.5 ton craftsman jack under the front of my car without first using the ramps or using a second jack to get part of it up in the air...

buy the ramps, go out to the parking lot, and try to slide it under your car to see if it'll clear...if not, go and return them...anyway, that's what i'd do...

those takata ramps looks real low, but i wonder how high they get the car up off the ground?!? the rhino ramps get the car up enough for me to slide under it with a creeper when checking things out/doing minor work- and i'm not the skinniest of people...

if you were just gonna use the ramps to get the car up higher to use a jack under it, then those takata ramps would work fine...

good luck...

Hmm,..

I had a lowered car and if you "had" to buy ramps,..why not save $$ for speed parts etc and just use like 2X4s or some wooden blocsk to drive up on so that its high up enough to get jack under,..

Granted, thats ghetto, but gets job done,..

rhino ramps do not fit my car which is lowered 2". I had a hard time with them at stock height even with the corner splitters touching the ramps.

Dude...if you work or live in town you can come sample my rhino ramps to see if they'll fit.

If not, you'll have to get the Takata ones that iNfek has...but, those are only good enough to give you clearance so you can get your jack underneath your car.
