All the way up the Veter clears with tons of room. Ordered the BUB in August at Corvette Car lisle and received it 2 months later. It is the standard 7000 Pound BUB. Takes a minimum of four guys to assemble and took us about 3.5 hours. Even with four guys those ramps are a bitch. They are freaking heavy, especially the one that contains the hydraulics and cables.

Looks great which model BYB did you get? How long did it take to arrive once you ordered it? Was it hard to assemble?..... and a dozen other annoying questions.
I just ordered a BYB a few weeks ago. Mine should arrive before Christmas.

I have two rolling jack platforms that sit between the runways. They also sell an air powered jack if you so desire. https://www.backyardbuddy.com/store/products.asp?pg=2
