AirRex has a system for Corvettes. I don't think you are going to get by with anything less than $2500.00 for an install. I just mounted rollers to my core support under the car for about $200.00.

Sounds like a good idea. Do you have any pictures or part numbers?

"I just want something simple to hit a button the raise it a couple inches." That is the whole problem....there is not "something simple". If there were, it would cost about $400, and it would be a factory option for $1000, and most of us would have it.

Besides, "a couple inches" is a pretty fair amount. If you could get 3/4" to 1", you would probably be good to go on most bumps.

Eager to see what you find out. I don't see any way it could be completely done/installed for under $3k.

No part numbers. Mine came from West Coast Corvettes. There is also another roller product called Fat Wheel which you should probably be able to find with your search engine. This is how I get my car up my driveway. It's a good idea to inspect the lower core support welds to make sure they are not cracked from time to time. Had to have mine tig welded once.

Looks like the RamLiftPro site is gone.....out of business? It's been 7 years since I first posted this and still wish I could find something.

I've also been looking for a few years. I thought I was onto something with iLift https://iliftsystems.com but they tell me the vette's leaf springs blow the whole plan
