Glad I could help! When things slow down, I’ll probably do more videos on scaling a car out and all that, and show more about the scales. They are good, with good features, especially for the price!
I have the same scales, but went I went the optional ramps. It was a good call. To those that may not know, to scale a car properly the tire pressure has to be "as run" and even side to side. Ideally, the dampers should be removed. With coil overs we back the settings off to full soft. Remember to note the settings first! The dampers will "hang" like mentioned in this video and throw off the corner weights.
You are 100% right! We have found that typically it’s easier to use ramps to get on the scales even though you can drive directly onto the scales. It’s amazing how difficult it is to get a race car to climb up on them 🤦🏻♂️😂 Once you learn the quirks of scaling a car out, it becomes much easier to do
Yup! Each way has its pros and cons. Since I’ve had these scales, I’ve started using them with the 2 post lift. Just gotta let the car settle for a bit. But if I was at the track or something where I don’t need to put it on the lift, I’ll drive on them. I like that you can do either way on these scales.
Thanks man! Definitely gotta get me a set!

Awesome buddy great video.
Thanks! 😎🚜💨
Shut hood, then push down on all 4 corners, then let it settle. No need to drive on em. Works both ways.

That Trans Am needs to go on a diet! I’ve got some ideas for some stuff to make that happen. 😉
Let’s do it! 😎🚜💨
Ways almost as much as a whale 😳
It really was surprising how heavy that car was! Street car! 😎🚜💨
