Lowering your car improves handling and looks—but it makes basic maintenance a challenge. If you’ve scraped your bumper trying to get onto standard ramps or can’t even slide a jack under your chassis, you already know the struggle. Low profile car ramps are the fix.
This guide covers what low profile ramps are, why lowered cars need them, and how to choose the right ones for your setup.
What Are Low Profile Car Ramps?
Low profile ramps are specially designed with a shallow approach angle and reduced height to accommodate modified vehicles. They allow cars with limited ground clearance to be lifted safely—without scraping lips, bumpers, or undertrays.
Key features include:
- Short ramp height (usually under 4")
- Gradual incline for safe approach
- Non-slip surface for garage or track use
- Split or removable design for jack access
Why Standard Ramps Don’t Work for Lowered Cars
Generic ramps are made for SUVs and stock sedans. Their steep angles and tall height make them impossible to use with lowered vehicles—especially those on coilovers or running aggressive aero. You risk getting stuck, cracking a lip, or damaging your subframe.
Even if you manage to get on, they rarely offer enough lift to use a jack or access underbody hardware comfortably.
Benefits of Low Profile Ramps for Drift and Track Cars
For coilover-equipped builds, low ramps are essential gear. They allow you to:
- Access jacking points easily
- Lift the car safely in a garage or paddock
- Swap wheels or check suspension between sessions
- Avoid sketchy wood stacks or angled jack tricks
- Protect your bumper and underbody from damage
What to Look for in a Quality Low Profile Ramp
- Approach angle under 10° – critical for ultra-low cars
- Durable materials – no flimsy plastic or unstable foam
- Split-style design – drive on, remove base, jack safely
- Compact size – fits in your trunk, trailer, or shop wall
- Safe working load – check capacity before buying
