rolls under c5 front end
I read someone makes a small roller or wheel that goes under the front of a C5 so on steep driveways it will not rub.Who sells these and where can I get them?
Thanks

I do believe you are talking about front frame savers from Andy at A&A Corvette

They are called Framesavers, and
A&A Corvette makes and sells them.
If you want a set, I have a brand new, never installed set I'll give ya a deal on. PM me if interested.

Do they actually "lift" the car off the ground when it gets to low?

Neat little items - sure can save the front end from a bunch of scrapes.

You have to drill a 5/16" hole through the skid rails to mount them...not too hard at all.
Andy recommends also tack welding them for added strength, but few people actually do that and I've not heard of anyone having a problem by not doing it.
Concerning my offer above of the ones I had for sale, they have been sold to Pro Street.
