ramps
Hello all,
I have a 1987 'vette. I am tired of placing wood on the floor to drive up on my rhino ramps. Would a set of race ramps alleviate the problem of using wood to stop the air dam from scraping and buckling when I drive onto the ramp? Thanks for your input.

Race Ramps options
Do the yardstick test described in the attachment. The standard 56" and 67" ramps have a 10.7˚ incline compared to a 17˚ incline on the ramps you are currently using. If you need something lower than that, we offer custom 2-stage incline ramps with an initial incline of 6.8˚.
Orders for Race Ramps service ramps placed before 31-Mar-2012 are eligible for the free wheel chock factory rebate offer.
More details at our "Specials" page.

No,my 'vette is stock. I'm just trying to find out if anyone with an '87 has purchased race ramps,and if the problem of bending/distorting the spoiler/airdam was resolved.I just want to be able to lay the ramps in front of my 'vette and drive on.I'm sick and tired of jacking it up a little or placing boards to get up on a set of ramps. Thanks for responding.

56" and 67" Race Ramps
The standard 56" and 67" Race Ramps will work with a stock C4 without scraping the air dam. You can get a pair of one piece 56" Race Ramps with an 8" high platform for about $200. If you purchase the ramps by 31-Mar-2012 you qualify for a free set of heavy duty wheel chocks too.

Looks like you are all set.
I don't need then because my 92 and the wife's 04, both stock ride height, pull right on my dovetail trailer with just the short ramps that came with the trailer.

Wish you guys had something I could use...
I have a slightly different issue on my C4. It is lowered, and as such I can't get the arms of my lift under it without putting a 3" block under the wheels.
Something like your Track-Jax with the angle on both sides (removable on one side so the lift arm can get under the car), so I can set them in place and drive over the rear set to get the car in place on the lift...that would work better for my purpose (using Track-Jax-S for the front of course).
I don't know if you do anything custom...just thinking out loud here. I was getting ready to buy some aluminum diamond plate and cut it/weld it, but I'd sure like the Race Ramps more.
P.S. I might need to order a set of trailer ramps as well...

Have the 56", 2 piece for my '95. You'll like them. Use them for all my cars, makes oil changes, etc. pretty easy. Get the wheel chocks, I use them as car stoppers in my garage when not using the ramps. No more tennis ***** on a string to determine where to stop. Plus, keeps the wife from crashing into the dining room.

If we can't find something in the standard product list that meets your requirements I can help you with a custom solution. The attachment shows the range of trailer ramps available.
