I asked for a set of 12,000# Rhino Ramps for Christmas to make oil changes easier. I was trying to get my C900 up on them a few weeks ago to work on some power steering hoses. I couldn't gauge the running start needed to roll up the ramps and I'd juuuust get to the top and roll back down, and the ramps would move out of place. Finally put enough pizazz on the gas pedal and the passenger side ramp shot out behind the tire, allowing the passenger side to fall. Thankfully the 900 is a monster truck and the body didn't touch the top of the ramp.
