    Low-rise ramps for a mid-rise lift: My How-To

    Added to my homepage: http://www.subaruaudio.net/other-how-to-articles/how-to-build-low-rise-ramps/ I saw about 47 different threads discussing low ramps for clearing a mid-rise lift, but the how-tos were fairly basic. Since making such ramps is simple, that makes sense. But for novices, I...

I don't have the space to install it as I see some in the threads here (very far forward), and I use my garage to park the...
