Anyone have ideas/solutions to keeping car ramps in place as your tires hit the ramp??? Other than not using them at all of course.. Do not want to anchor into my slab either, not always going to use them in the same location..

I jack up the car and insert the ramps, then drive off when finished.

Use a piece of an old cut up drag slick under the drive under the drive on ends,when weight hits plants them firmly to the c-crete and they usually won't slide.

Kinda defeats the "drive on purpose though doesn't it?Might as well use stands. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

All, but one of my cars is too low to get to the ramps. So I have to use the jack up method, to get it on and off. Joker

In the garage, I just put a couple of two by fours between the ramps and the rear wall....outside, I set em on the crack in the driveway.

Have the opposite problem here. Can't fit the jack under the car without ramps.

We've used old strips of rubber or shingles nailed to the bottom of our wooden ramps to keep them in place.

I use an old hunk-a carpet under the front of mine...they don't scoot anymore.

You've probably thought of this already, but is there a crub you can put the ramps up against?
