Question for DIY SSK Installers

HRC · 01-23-2010, 12:25 AM

I have a set of rhino ramps but it is a tight fit for oil changes. Do you think if I buy a second set of rhino ramps for the rear, I will get more space to install the SSK?

i wouldn't think you need too much space... your going to take off the lower panel anyways, i guess its more of a convenience for you if you need more space to get the additional set..

Just use the one set to lift the drivers side of the car (front and back) and scoot in from that side. The clip is on the passenger side so you'll be able to see it properly.

Never considered using the pair of ramps on one side of the car only! If the clip is on the passenger side, would it be better to lift the passenger side instead of the drivers side?

Thanks!

Trust me, done this a couple of times. Drivers side up, scoot under head first, then you have eyes on the clip and your hands.
