Drive On Ramp - LR4/Disco4

[Matt Broadway]

Any recommendations for a drive on ramp for a (2011) LR4?

The Rhino Ramp (16,000lb) ramps look to be up to the job so wondering if anyone uses these or similar?

I use those. They work well.

There have been a few reports of them breaking. But I think some of them were because they weren't on flat ground and had a stress point under them.

Throw a jackstand under the car just incase

What do you wish to use them for? The problem with ramps is that while lifting the vehicle it is not level. This can be ok or even an advantage if draining engine oil and the drain plug is at the back of the pan but in other cases like filling differentials it is not since the oil level is not, well level lol.

Can’t you set up a ramp for all 4 wheels? I don’t know as I’ve never used these.

After reading the Amazon reviews on these, I wouldn't use them without a few jack stands under the frame.

I don't see why you couldn't drive up onto 4 at once, but it sounds like they tend to slide out easily so make sure they're aligned properly.

With an AWD like the LR4 you could. Driving only one axle would be tricky.

Got some exhaust rattling sounds so want to get under her and take the shields off and poke about. Sounds like this would do it with some jack stands for added safety. Cheers all!

Alway put jack stand or jack front and back for secondary support but I have this for three years and love them.
