Which Race Ramps for a 2002 C5Z?
I did a search but could not find a concrete answer. I am looking for a set of Race Ramps to do routine maintenance to my stock 02' C5Z. Any insight?

I use the 8 inch one piece ramps for changing oil and such. Works well enough for me. I would imagine the 10 and 12 inch models would work even better with the added clearance.

If you're talking length of the ramps themselves. I bought the 56" length and they worked and just barely cleared the air dam. If you're even slightly lowered you will have to go with the 67" length or drive up on short platform to "pre-raise" the car then drive up the 56" ramp.

Since the 67" ramp is the exact same 10.8 degree incline as the 56" ramp it offers no additional car-to-ramp clearance when pushed against the front tires. Think of the extra length being at the other end of the ramp which is the reason the 67" ramp platform is 2" taller than the 56" platform.
If you want more clearance consider the RR-80-10-2 ramp which is 8.5 degrees. The RLL-80-2 an RLL-87-2 ramps have a 6.8 degree slope.
You can use the Reverse Logic service ramp calculator at https://www.reverselogic.us/race-ramps.html to get a better idea of what to expect for car-to-ramp clearance.

My 04z is lowered about an inch. I went with the RLL-87-2 set up. They're awesome. Air damn doesnt touch at all. Hate myself for using jacks/stands for as long as I did

I'm lowered about an inch as well and the stock air dam is definetly low so I was looking for a set of ramps that would do the trick. Sounds like they would work then.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I think I will go with the RLL-87-2 ramps just in case I lower it at any point. I would rather spend a little more now and just buy it right the first time. Plus if I ever add a C6 or C7 Z to the collection... Fred@ReverseLogic what kind of shipping time should I expect?
PS anyone got any ideas how to get the car over the curb of my driveway without scraping?

Race Ramps is somewhat overwhelmed during the year end Holiday Season. Estimated delivery is one to two weeks. During December almost my entire stock in PA is limited to Flatstoppers.
