- Mustangs aren't the only late model car that will give you this problem.
- I have solved this problem by "extending" the ramp by placing a six to
- eight foot 2X6 (lumber) on the ramp. This changes the grade of the slope
- just enough to eliminate dragging the air dam. Once the car is positioned
- on top of the ramp, just remove the boards (don't forget to put them back
- before you back the car off the ramps!). Please note that this is a poor
- boys solution.
