I think they are 85 or 100mm thick sleepers which are dirt cheap!I want a fcking hoist though now as I can't work in the car generally at all unless I have a great day which is rarely and by the time I've even jacked the fcker up I'm done... 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89340-the-jacking-and-lifting-thread/page/5/#findComment-1504972 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any specific brand to go for or just go by load rating?

It gets munted after a couple of uses but it's cheap and I still have some of the two metres I bought a couple of years back.My wife did manage to spit them out the back of her Mondeo once. Got a bit heavy on the throttle when getting it to climb onto them and next minute, two yellow ramps skidding down the driveway !Not so much an issue with rwd though.
