Car too low for a floor jack? Race Ramps Trak Jax to the rescue!

Trak-Jax were inspired by an auto crosser that didn’t want to buy a new, high-priced, low-profile jack just to change his tires at the track. These lightweight, durable ramps get low cars up high enough to fit a standard floor jack under the car. At less than 5 pounds each and only 30.1” long, you caneven fit them in the trunk of your car. Trak-Jax are available with or without a 1.5” stop.

I'm not seeing the value in these. My low profile aluminum racing jack was only $120.

I have a set of the regular race ramps, after years of using them they are indented from my front tires resting on them - am I going to die? lol I always use jackstands while using my ramps, but it still worries me

^I was under the impression that they are not hollow rather solid all the way through ,
You wouldnt think they would suddenly crack or squish , rather slowly crush over time as you have stated .
I'm glad you are using jackstands , ive had a car fall on me luckily it has a geo metro .

Saw your notes of concern.

Don't worry. Race Ramps are made of solid block high density industrial poly styrene. The same stuff used for bridge embutment cores, roadbeds, and the blocks they put under yachts for storage and transport. Being poly styrene they will take a set, with mild compression. Hence the formation around your tires.

If you go to our website (www.raceramps.com), there is a video posted that was on the Modern Marvels program, on Discovery Channel. The vid discusses the technology of materials use, and we got a good plug - showing our use of the polystyrene.

Rest assured. Race Ramps are secure.
