Wheel Ramps
Wheel ramps allow you to raise
the front or the rear of your Jeep without having to jack it
up. Using these are generally safer than jacks and
jack stands since the vehicle is sitting on it's suspension
with almost proper footing. These are extremely useful
for working on parts of your Jeep that are underneath and do
not require removing the wheels.
Using wheel ramp
is simple but sometimes a challenge with stubborn ramps on a
smooth garage floor. Some companies make ramps that
have a pad for the vehicle wheels that allows the vehicle to
climb the ramp without it moving. Putting the Jeep in
4WD can help. After the jeep is up on the ramp make
sure the brake is set and chocks
are used at the other end to prevent the vehicle from
rolling off.
Recommendation
One set of quality ramps
rated for the weight of your vehicle. We prefer the
solid plastic ramps over the stamped steel ones. The
plastic ones do not rust, have a better surface area so they
don't sink as much into blacktop, and are easier to handle.
