you have a 1 ton car on plastic, use your head and fork out some cash for metal ramps.

OK, well, I put my 1 ton car on plastic that says it's rated for 8000 lbs GVW. It's not a fucking publix bag!!! If a company sells a product and claims it does something, plastic or not it should work! Metal or Plastic I'm sure both have failed at one point.

man...metal ramps are great..the only thing i dont like is that fact that it slips..so it need to have a rubber mat underneath it..

oh..my first pair of metal ramps bent...cheap shit..but it worked
and my 2nd pair...i got..has reinforced supports..guess how much i payed for those? 2 fucking dollars at a garage sale...effin awesome

idk if retailers sell metal ramps anymore...just go to the flea market or a garage sale..


plastic ramps = fail

would you put your car on plastic jack stands?

Good thing you don't have to do that when you want to replace the exhaust gaskets.
