ZL1 and ZL1 1LE race ramp questions
Anyone have experience with zl1 1le and race ramps? Looking to pick up a set and am curious if the 67 XT versions will work with no front splitter scrape - or would I need to go to the 72" ramps? A few other questions: 1 piece or 2 piece version? How many wheel chocks should be used 2 or 4?
Thanks |
There are some posts about Race Ramps in this section, and the 67 inch version will work. The 2 piece version allows you to remove the rear portion of the ramp for easier under car access. I'd think 2 chocks would work, since the car is lifted in the front or rear while on the ramps.

I thought that I saw the people saying the 56" race ramps clears the ZL1 but its close. I want to get a set to do oil changes.

Thank you for posting this thread, and those that have replied...I need to get a set myself this summer...and all of your input is priceless! :D

The longer they are the better the angle and less chance of scraping i have the 67 and they don't hit. but from above looks like 56 will work also

I'm on the bigger side so i wouldn't be able to fit but someone smaller than me might be able to.

Anyone with the 56" Race Ramps back up on to them to say service the rear diff? If so, did the front end clear the ground? I can try it, but haven't yet.
|
For changing oil I use the Race ramp wheel cribs and chock the rear tires.
I was lucky enough to find these at a local car swap. To lift the car I use the ZL1 addons universal Jackpads This works great for all my cars and much easier to store and move around. |

FYI they make extenders for those who have the 56" version

I can post pictures at a bit of a later date...but I can confirm that the Race Ramps RR-TR 7" (74" length) will clear the ZL1 1LE with the front struts in full height setting with about an inch to spare. So it should also clear in full low setting. :bow:

I got the 56" two piece ramps for 17 ZL1. They worked perfect. When I got my 18 ZL1LE, I had to get the extenders as the approach angle was just a little too steep.

Just received my 67" Race Ramps today. They clear the splitter, but do rub up on the rubber and plastic pieces that sit under the splitter. Going to have to order the XTenders unfortunately.
I would suggest getting the 72" for the ZL1 1LE. |

all lenghts ramps will rub dont worry about that you can even get the 56
all you need to clear it with room to spare is to find a spot where a floor is slightly offset from the pavement even the slightest rise of the front wheels will do it u can even put the cardboard the ramps came in and drive over it w the front wheels once the car is pointing up there will magically be tons of clearance |
straight is an illusion
things that appear straight are infact curved |

Needs about 4" to get on an 18' Aluma Tilt
I put a couple of 12" X 1" square pieces of wood I put under the race ramps that work well. Attachment 1037451 |
I bit the bullet and went with the Race Ramp 80's. Plenty of clearance.
