Standard height VR4's will reverse on to my small ramps. The rear bumper *just* clears the lip on the back of the ramps. This only works if the car is starting on level ground, and the front bumper will still be a couple of inches or more of the ground.

Even lowered cars go quite a long way into the air at the back before the bumpers hit the ground at the front - My 3 ton Sealey trolley jack can't quite lift the back of VR4's high enough to get the front bumper to the floor - even when they are lowered!

I have standard car ramps and can reverse my VR4 onto them with no issues. The car is a Tad lower than standard. My 1st VR4 was much lower and just needed a helping hand with 2 nice strong pieces of timber to help them up onto the 1st rung.
Going forward onto the ramps with the present VR needs the timbers to stop catching on the front lip.

Sure thered a Pic on here recently of my VR reversed onto ramps showing my Zorst for PThompson /Hmmm

Cheers
