My S550 has a complete set of Ford track springs, struts and shocks, ( as well as a few more goodies), so it is lowered about 1" in the front and with 3/8' steeda spacers agout 5/8" in the rear. I just installed a Steeda front sub frame k-brace which caused the ground clearance to drop about 3/8 of a inch. This proved to be too low for my quick jacks to be stored under the car. So I built a set of full length ramps. I should note that this is my 2nd set. I had to built a set for my Honda S2000 track car years ago just to get a floor jack under the jacking points. Anyway the ramps are modular so I can rempve the center section to position the quick jack, and once jacked up i can remove the sections under thee wheels easily if needed. I used 2x4's and 23/32 ply wood for this ramp. for my honda I used 2x6's and 23/32 ply wood. I really like it as I did the one I built for my honda. Anyway thought I would share.

Very nice. I think I might try that myself. thanks
for sharing.
If you do the basic dims are front : 2'x18" , center: 7'x18", adn the rear 3'x18". Also note, I am more then likely going to cut the center section down and install a latches. that way the whole thing can be stacked.

Just the pp1 splitter. The ramps I built for my lowered S2000 I used 2x6 framing. I just made the ramped part of the 3 feet long,(this one is only 1 foot with a 2 foot landing ),which allowed the front tires to start lifting before the splitter hit the top of the ramp. If your Mustang is low or a long splitter just make a longer ramp runner

Would you mind shooting a photo of the bottom side or did you box it in? I wondering if you ran one or two internal supports? Or is it filled with Styrofoam?

thank you and I agree about this forum. I feel I can ask a stupid question and not feel stupid for doing it. Also I just cut my 7' mid section into two 3'-6" pcs. now I can stack them easily.
