Default Rhino ramps...no problem 'til I lowered...

I have to use a little helper ramp (boards) for the front. Never had a problem with the A4, since the front bumper was not as low as the S4.

Default Wow - a lift that will work in my garage! 20" lift height will fit

under garage door openers with just under 9 foot ceilings. Most hydraulic lifts I have seen so far raise the car at least 48" which would smash the roof into the door opener.

Default Just regular ramps with a little help

Perhaps, but they have 9" of lift. Rhino's don't come close in that respect.

Rhino's are 7". Too low for my tastes.
