I did not modify the hooks as it may void the warranty. I sent an email to Race Ramps today asking for options, waiting to hear back from them.
For now, I just place them in front of the lift (not hooked) and drive the car up. They stay on the ground firmly and do not slide out, so works out. I did not go with the wider ramps as the 14" covers the 295 tires on my Mustang without any issues.

YZFMax - my lift is an HD-9 as well, did you modify the hook to address the interference issue? Any reason you didn't go with the wider 20" ramps?
My C7 has a carbon splitter and has been lowered to the max on the stock bolts. Do you think these ramps will allow me to get the car on the lift given my minimal clearance?

A little off topic but I am looking for recommendations for a stand alone 4 post lift for my new C7. I have a 3 car garage with approximately 10' ceilings. I would have to install new garage door rails and opener to change the way the door opens.
I am looking for suggestions, based upon experience, for brand, cost, installation, etc... Ideally looking for a stand alone which would not have to be anchored into the floor, and a 110v unit (220v if necessary).
Thanks in advance...

Sometimes, you don't have to change out the garage door opener, if you "back in" the car on the lift and the door travels over the hood on the lifted car and stops before hitting the windshield...done this for years...just my $.02

Reverse Logic offers the RR-RACK-HN20-5-8 Race Ramps rack ramp.
It's 20" wide and has a modified hook which fits the BendPak H9 lift. This ramp is in stock at Reverse Logic. The hook is shorter and 8" wide.
The special H9 version of the ramp is the fifth selection at this link.

I have the RR-RACK-HN14-5. The only problem is that you cannot use the hooks on the BendPak due to the design. The hooks are very deep and interfere with the metal rod that protects the tube for the air locks. If you are using another brand, it might work.

The regular 20" wide Race Ramps hooked nosed ramps have a 12" wide hook that won't fit into the 9" slot on the Bendpak lift. The H9 specific 20" wide ramp shown in the above thread has an 8" wide hook that will fit into the slot on the lift.
YZFMax - my lift is an HD-9 as well, did you modify the hook to address the interference issue? Any reason you didn't go with the wider 20" ramps?
