I made some ramp extensions out of wood to get me up the Rhino Ramps without scraping the Viggen's nose. They aren't pretty but they've worked well. I just took a 4"x6" piece of wood about 2 feet long and cut it diagonally lengthwise to make a ramp that's 6" wide, 2 feet long and ramps up to a height of 4". I also cut a notch in the end that goes up against the ramps so that the transition from wood to ramps was smooth. It's kinda hard to describe but pretty easy to do. And it's a cheap and fast solution. The Viggen's low clearance plus the long front overhang makes it all but impossible to use any ramps without extensions.
The things I like about the Rhino Ramps are that they're light weight, they won't rust, and they support something like 12,000 lbs. each. That's probably more weight than most jack stands are rated for. I think the Rhinos will work on just about any other car without the need for extensions.
