Which ramps work the best with a vette. I bought a set of rhino ramps but have not tried them yet. I have seen the race ramps but they make so many different types.

Rhinos are low enough for stock C5 coupe at least.....I use them for oil changes.

The RR-56-2 or RR-XT-2 race ramps will work with your C5 unless it is lowered significantly below stock.

With the SAVE10 coupon code and and $20 factory rebate thru 31-Mar-2016 the 56" ramps are about $185 and the 67" ramps are about $280.

I have a pair of 2X6" planks that lay down in front of the truck Rhino Ramps. Stops from bending the wing-lets going up.

And if you have to do that, just build some out of 2x10's or what have you. Many choose this simple and cheaper option.

My Rhinos don't work--I get interference with the side spoilers.

johnson-rod

That's what the 2 X 6s are for...

huesmann

Yes, I know. I'm just pointing out that the Rhinos alone aren't low enough.

I purchased the RR-56-2 during a group buy here on the Forum a while back and I have no problem with my 2000 Hardtop clearing. They work great on all my other vehicles as well.

Good luck... GUSTO

I too use Rhino Ramps for oil changes. They work fine for me, but the Race Ramps are probably a better ramp overall, but way more expensive.

I made my own !!!

While Race Ramps may cost more initially than Rhino Ramps, the total cost of ownership (TCO) is not unreasonable. Down the road if you ever go to sell the Race Ramps, you will get 50% to 75% of what you paid for them compared to next to nothing for Rhino Ramps. You can really minimize the TCO by purchasing a used set of Race Ramps.

There is a big difference between Race Ramps and Rhino Ramps. The height and width of the popular 56" and 67" Race Ramps is significantly greater than Rhino Ramps. Anyone who has used both ramp types can attest to how much easier and safer Race Ramps are compared to Rhino Ramps.

Are the 5000 lb 56" Race Ramps overkill for a Vette vs. the 3000 lb?

0Fred@ReverseLogic

Yes. But, the HD ramps are more durable and there is no downside to getting the higher capacity ramps, provided that the incline angle of 10.8 degrees works for your chassis.

I have a special coupon code of "HD50" to save $50 on HD ramps thru 31-Mar-2016. The ramps are also eligible for the $20 cash back factory rebate.

If you do need a lower incline angle you can get the RR-72-2-HD, RLL-72-14-2-HD, or RLL-87-2-HD ramp models.

For the price of race ramps you can get a set of 12 ton locking jack stands and almost have enough left over a HF low profile high lift jack. That's the setup I'm running and they provide enough motor to drop the front cradle/pull a motor.
