Those with a 4 post lift and C5
What ramp length do you have? I'm trying to figure out if I need to upgrade to the 36" or 48" aluminum ramps.
Thanks

My lift has the 2.5' long ones, but leading into my bay, I have a series of 2x4's, furring strips, and 4x4's under a 3/4" piece of A/C plywood that is at the same angle as my ramps. It actually has about 6.5 or 7 feet of ramp, and it is still dicey getting off the lift (driving on I have no problems). However, MY car is way, way low, and a stock height C5 shouldn't have any problems with my setup.

My ramps are 36" and I have a front splitter as well...no issues.

What matters most is how tall your lift runners are off of the floor.
I have Rotory 14K lbs. lift, which is 8" off of the floor. Since my C5 is lowered, I went with Race Ramps that are 60" long if I remember correctly. I actually modified them a bit so they are my primary ramps to use on the lift, and I leave the heavy steel ones to the side.

Can confirm the 36-37" ramps work well on both a Backyard Buddy and a DannMar lift for C5, C6, and C7. C6 is the closest on the clearance but no scraping. The ramps that originally came with the Backyard Buddy did not work.
The C5 is on top.
