Contact Fred at Reverselogic, he'll set you up. He's got really good pricing too.

I thought I read somewhere that longer ones are needed for the GS and Z06?

I bought a set made for Camaro and Corvette. 2 piece. Front ground effect is low so I bought the extensions. Now have 3 piece. I used it for my Camaro last week to change the radiator. Gave me a lot of clearance to get underneath. Awesome, very easy to drive up then down. I moved one piece away and then changed the oil. I recommend getting the extensions because the front splitters are low on Corvettes. Cost around $500 for everything but well worth it.

There are several Race Ramps models with "integrated" XTenders. So you don't have to bother with the third piece.

The 2-stage incline ramp model numbers are RR-72-2, RLL-80-2, and RLL-87-2.

https://www.reverselogic.us/2-stage-incline-ramps

These ramps have an initial incline of 6.8 degrees which offers good car-to-ramp clearance for GS and Z06 cars.

I have 72" ramps and they work great on my GS.

You have 72" Race Ramps and they clear fine with a C7 Grand Sport?
That's what I was getting ready to buy, but was told the Grand Sport wouldn't clear on a 72" that I needed to go with 87" to clear.
If 72" will work, that is what I will buy.

The RR-56-2 (56") and RR-XT-2 (67") ramps have the same 10.8 degree constant incline. The RR-72-2 (72") and RLL-87-2 (87") are both two-stage incline ramps. The first stage is 6.8 degrees and the second stage is 10.8 degrees. Once the front tires are on the first stage the approach angle on the car increases because the rear tires are still on the ground. That's the reason the car can clear the second steeper section of the ramps.

The 72" ramp is essentially a 56" ramp with an integrated XTender. Both ramps are 12" wide and have an 8" high platform. The 87" ramp is like the 67" ramp with an integrated XTender. These ramp models are 14" wide and 10" high. The 72" and 87" ramps were introduced by Reverse Logic in 2011. The "RLL" prefix indicates that the ramps are made for Reverse Logic Limited. About 18 months ago Race Ramp adopted the RLL-72-2 model as one of their own models and changed the part number
to RR-72-2.

You can get the "RR" ramp models from any Race Ramps reseller. If you want to pay a little extra, you can get them from Amazon. You will only find the "RLL" ramp models at Reverse Logic.

I copied the design and made them myself for about $60 at Home Depot lumber section.

Needed them to load my Indian Chief motorcycle (lowered) into our fifth wheel toyhauler...

Sorry for the newb question, but will the ramp raise the car high enough to easily change the oil?

Yes, though you still have to crawl under the car.

Are the 3000 lb 72" ramps sufficient or should I go with the 5000 lb ramps? If I want to change the oil or install my x-pipe I would put the front on the ramps and the back on stands. Would the 3000 lb ramps be safe?
