I dont know if this is the right board for this but, I was wondering if anyone makes a ramp jack/combination? By this I mean a low profile ramp that would have a jack built into it and the platform where the tire sits would be able to raise. You could use one ramp on each of the four tires without any clearance issues, keep the suspension loaded, and still be able to lift the car higher. This idea just came to me out of nowhere and I was wondering if anything like this is available out there. Seems like it would be a real inexpensive alternative for having a car lift and would be convenient for many of us. Just dreamin up ideas. Thanks, Efrain.

That is a pretty good idea...I'd be very interested in a ramp like that...If anyone has heard of one...please share.

I doubt that anybody has made one like that. It would be a saftey issue to actaully build it. The only thing close to that would be the lift that you drive on that has jack built into but they actually lift the car so the suspension is not compressed. If it was to be built it could not be movable. From a saftey point of view, the hole thing would need to be stationary and each jack would need to raise at the exact same time. In all, you would be looking at a very expensive lift/jack.

They make whole car jacks like that, but nobody makes them for individual wheels. That would be pretty unsafe IMO.
