Default C4 Ground Clearance?

Does anyone know the ground clearance of the C4? 1988 in particular.
Is it more than 4.75"? I wonder if this mid rise lift is low enough.

Thanks,

Cut some 2 X 10's or 12's in one foot sections for all 4 wheels. Drive on top of the for an additional 1 3/4". Will give you plenty of room.

I was hoping that it clear so I can park the car over it every day.

The minimum ground clearance for the '88 Vette according to the Corvette Action Center is 4.7".

It might be the picture, but that lift looks to be a little light/fragile. From the looks of it, I`m not sure I would get under it.
