Where did you purchase your 4' ramps from?

Even with the 4' ramps I have to "build up" the run to get my lowered GS on the lift. BendPak offers aluminum ramps (ask me how I know) BUT the only are the 3' versions. So after blowing about 700.00 in ramps alone, I have a set of 3' steel & a set of 3' aluminum ones for sale. Any takers?

Its funny how the op gets a new lift after trying to get a group buy going,not enough people were interested,now he gets one without a group buy and everyone wants to know how much! I was ready to get one with a group buy,not sure if a good price would have been offered.I decided to get a Quality lift,same people that make the challenger lift, I did get casters,and 50" aluminum ramps,plus there is a 3 color option,red,blue or black,mine is a combo of I think red posts and black runners.I think by the time you add in for aluminum ramps these are a little less money.Mine should get here soon,I'll post pics when I install it.

Did a 4 post a few years ago.

IT'S THE VERY 1ST MOD I SHOULD HAVE DONE.

Did all the work on my C5s Now my C6Z. Built a Pro Tour 55 Belair and now on my 3rd 1st gen Camaro

Dannmar Lift Less then $2K Delivered. I have been very happy with it.

Which 69? The one in my Forum Garage I sold a few months ago. A guy followed me home and made an offer I could not refuse.

Bought this one a couple weeks ago. It's on it's way here from Philly right now.

355 Roller Motor with a Tremec 5 Speed.

I have a few things to do to it though. Haha

Thanks. Not a Real Z. Paint is flawless. Stripes are white with a little pearl all under the clear.

If you have 10' clear you will have 6' under the ramps with a vette on the lift

Makes you wonder how much you could get one for if maybe 10 guys could have wanted one at the same time,theres another post going on in the C5 section about 4 posts,same thing everyone wants one now.Oh well though,I have one on its way now,just can't wait to get home in about 10 days to put it together.Thanks for trying on the GP though.
