any recommendations on car ramps for cars/suv's up to 5000 lbs?

What do you guys use?

For my Miata, Rhino ramps always worked well. You can get them at Amazon. Though, I got mine at a local auto parts store.

I've used those for the Acadia. They flex a bit but I'm still alive to tell the tale

yeah, i''m using the rhino ramps as well. I'm asking because i just saw the flex earlier today too, changing my oil. I also use secondary supports of jack stands and floor jacks. But because the ramps are bearing all the weight primarily, i got scared of the flex...

The 8000 rhino ramp is rated for 2000lbs per ramp. Even if the curb weight of the vehicle is 4500 lbs, there's not going to be 4000lbs on the front axle.

I use those for my Forester. Probably overkill given the weight of a Forester but I haven't died yet and what better endorsement is there than that?

They are, unfortunately, absolutely unsuitable for sports cars... I have yet to justify spending the $200+ on a pair that are capable of that.

I made my own since I needed a small step incline for my vette:

Looks like the ones my dad made. I actually need to make some for my Honda.

I splurged and got RaceRamps. Honestly they cost way too much, but the shallow incline is nice and they raise the car higher than the Rhino Ramps.

They weight a ton but would hold up a tank.

Plus they won't slide. Basically the only downside is weight.
