Great feedback, the Race Ramps look nice. Which size ramp is appropriate for stock height C5? Just want to get under there to change oil, etc. Also is it common when using ramps like this for the air damn to scrape (I'm assuming that it may but it's not a big deal, right?)
Thanks all.
Thanks all.
Either of our models - 56" or XT are appropriate for the C5. Ten degree angle of incline with both. Shouldn't have an issue with the air dam brushing if the ramps are on level ground. The difference is height. The 56" are 8" tall, and the XT are 10" tall. Depends how much working room you want. We offer both ramp models in one or two-piece versions. The two-piece allows removal of the incline portion - increasing accessibility to the underside of the car.

You can get a nice low profile aluminum racing jack at Harbor Freight at a VERY reasonable price. Lots of folks knock them,,but I have been using 2 of them for many years(about 8 or 9) for cars trucks and other stuff,,and the have held up well!! Save a lot of wasted time/effort!!
with both, that's what I did, only used one jack and 4 jack stands

There is an old one for sale on Craigslist in Ohio.

I couldn't find a whole lot about these lifts which leads me to believe they are gone or changed their name.
I did find a link for McKinley elevators talking about a Cytech lift

They may be part of them.
