Got ramps ???

On my 2nd C7 and a while back I bought some ramps that looking at them now have no way in hell of working. That said what are you guys using these days ...."factory" height w. Z06 "economy" splitter. Please mention make and model and reasons why they work better than others ...much appreciated !!

I have a splitter that is about the same as the factory one as far as height and I went with the Race Ramps RLL80-2 ramps. Great ramps, light weight.

I bought a set of ramps but decided a 4 post hoist (which I had at my prior house in cali) was the way to continue. I have the corvette, a shaker challenger and a couple of old Trans Ams and I'm just not interested in getting on my back to work on the cars anymore. And now since the garage is so full I can double stack.

I'm considering this set as well. Is it easy to manage loading the car by yourself? Thanks.

Yes, no problem at all. I also got the cradle pieces for the rear tires so I can slide my low profile long reach jack under the rear and get it up on all four corners.

Race Ramps my choice. They are extremely lightweight. Easy to use. They come in two piece parts. Easy to store. Durable.

I suggest the 67" 4 piece set (2 pieces each side). Which is what I use or the 80".

Great info ....while the 80's are over $400 the 67" looks more reasonable at about $300....is this the model number "RR-XT-2 67" 2 Piece Lightweight Service Ramps" ?

Yes, that is correct. There are several on-line parts stores that are down to about $288.00 shipped with no sales tax. A good price, good deal.
