Mine goes up just fine without extenders. Is your car lowered?

Do you guys use these ramps to ever load your z into a car trailer? I am looking into buying a set of these for myself. I just bought a set of CCW rims and hoosier r6 tires for track days. I also have a ZR1 CF style front chin spiltter i just put on the track. The suspension is all stock. My new tires sizes are 315x35x18 and 345x30x18. Race ramp offers 4",5" and 6". I am trying to figure out what hieght will work best. Any advice is appreciated.

Those look really nice. I've been using the 2 piece 67" Race Ramps for about 3 years now and have been able to use a small folded up piece of carpet as a mini-ramp. If you want to save the $$$ I think you could cut a piece of plywood to butt against the ramp and it would work fine. It doesn't take much to keep from scraping that splitter.

No. Factory ride height, but you're not the first to ask if my car was lowered.
Just barely.
Yes & no. I'm not using a special tool, just a short piece of 2x4 to get it up and onto the wheel chocks.

Well my car goes right onto the 67" ramps without the extenders.

Not sure if you saw my last quote I tried to post. Nevertheless, I bought the first pair of a new "very low ramp" design by a company called Reverse Logic (REVERSELOGIC.US). Just do a Google search for "RLL-87-2". This guy took what RaceRamps already had and modified their design and is now the only distributor for this product. They are a 2-stage, 2-piece ramp that has an initial 6.5 deg incline and transitions to a slighlty steeper incline. By the time your reach the second stage you've already cleared all front spoilers to include the Z06 style chin spoiler. I have tried these already and absolutely NO problems negotiating these fine ramps. They are a bit more expensive than the others (that don't work) but definitely worth every penny in my mind and provide the safety needed and piece of mind that they are going to hold up the weight of the car. His website is:

I know they work well because my vehicle is the one shown on his website. I think there is even a video that shows the drive up but I can't seem to see the YouTube video that once was shown.

My car goes up the 67" ramps without the extenders but the black chin spoiler does scrape a little but not enough to cause damage or prevent me from going up the ramps.

Keep looking at this pic over the last few days. Man, do I like that color! Most Z's "Tickle" the ramp (on XT's alone) as they ascend, but I haven't had any reports of a problem. Xtenders do give more piece of mind and we sell alot of them. Some owners prefer that nothing "tickles" their vehicle. If anyone has questions, feel free to call us, PM/email, etc.

Wish I would have seen this thread earlier. I have a race of 67" waiting on my doorstep from FedEx. My car is lowered, so I think I might need to return them and go the reverse logic route.

Our RLL-87-2 and RLL-89-2 ramps are definitely more convenient than the optional XTenders for the 67" ramps. They are easier to use and to store. And since the incline sections have a low approach angle, you can get the optional trailer ramp adapters and convert the incline sections into trailer ramps. Doing this represents a big savings compared to purchasing dedicated service and trailer ramps.
