Ok, this may be a stupid question. But how do you pull the wheels and tires with a ramp style like this

low pro jack and I did it with my car 5 feet up on the lift so it is possible. In fact, that pic I posted was snapped 10minutes after I bolted the iforged 20s on it and the car never moved from its pedestal the entire time.

I get up under the car and push it up while my wife changes the wheels and tires, makes it easier to get leverage when I am under the car; bad back prevents me from just lifting up the car by the bumper, plus don't want to damage the bumpers on the Viper.

I believe revolution makes a jack platform assembly for my lift but I dont need it. You do need the optional ramps which are extended longer than the ones that come standard on it though. They save the cars nose big time.

Your other option is to get the jack stand tray that slides and fits between the runways.

I got the extended ramps, but had to have longer ones made due to the height difference and slope of the slab in my garage and driveway.

Revolution lifts can be adjusted to level out the runways whereas some lifts can not be adjusted and this becomes an issue if there is much slope in your garage.

Whatever you do I think most here in the know will agree. Dont look to save a buck when you are putting your viper in the air. Especially with you under it! For me it was either a revolution piece or the backyard buddy going in my garage. both top notch. Also, both not on the lesser side of the pricing scale though. You do get what you pay for.

I got the jack stand tray; you're stuck doing any changes low on the ground with your low pro jack, I can lift the car to any height, slide the jack stand tray underneath and jack up the car.

I agree with V-10's statements regarding spending the money; Backyard Buddy or Revolution were my two choices as well, went with Revolution because of the additional safety features it had.
