Just wondering if somebody makes an item for when you are jacking up your car you can put it under the tire instead of using jack stands. Used for cases like changing the oil when you need to get under the car and do not need to remove the tires. Item would probably be about 12" high and curved on the top so the tire could rest in it.

Thanks

tire ramp?

I don't understand why you wouldn't just use a jackstand or ramp.

Nobody makes it because it's not a good idea. You'd have to lift the car an extra 6" to get something under the tire to account for the suspension droop.

Yes they do its expensive $289 for 2. They are not safe at all(from what ive seen). Ramps are the best way to go if you must. I prefer the jackstands. Its quick simple and no worriies of death, well, unless your doin it on a hill. lol

They already make them, it's called a ramp.

They are even designed well enough that you can drive the car right onto it!

Hey thanks for your replies and smart a$$ answers. Just wanted to know yes or no and if so what's it called. Car is lowered and do not think ramps would work. I always used jack stands but wanted to try something different.

I have a floor jack, and some Rhino-ramps (Autozone or Walmart). I use the jack and then put the ramp under the wheel, whenever raising just 1 corner. Maybe it works because the Rhinoramps are lower than most ramps.

go buy some wood.. you can stick those under them and lower the floor jack.. but you still have to worry about suspension travel

I get the OEM jack and jack up one side, put the floor jack in the front jack point, lift, put the jack stands in and i'm done.
