Race Ramps...Mine do not work

Ok, I bought the extra long 1 piece ramps and my car hits.

These are the ones I have

What do you all use?

Ok, after further inspection I can move the ramps outwards to clear the whatchamacallit under the front splitter. But man it is close.

This should be in the regular Zl1 forum not the 1LE, can a mod move it?

My Camaro clears the 67" ramps pretty cleanly, but for my Corvette to make it p the same ramps, I have to use these:

My 2022 1LE clears my 67 inch Race Ramps with no issues as well. Make sure you are using them on a flat surface (or at least as flat a space as you have available).

I don't have them, but the extenders linked are a good way to further decrease the approach angle.

The nose is very long and very low. Even my custom ramps required extra board to get the car up without touching.

You won't have any issues with your 1LE using 67 inch Race Ramps.

Saw a video on YT of ramps built using wood boards. Very customizable.

i used 2x4s laying on the ground in front of my 20 year old rhino ramps. 0 issues.

i think it's silly to spend half as much for ramps as a quickjack.

ok nvm qj really went up lately. still don't support several hundred dollar ramps lol

It depends on how much space you have and how you use them. I use my Race Ramps for all my vehicles, not just my Camaro. I also have a set of Race Ramps cribs, so I can get the entire vehicle in the air if I need to. And when I purchased my RR I purchased the heavy duty versions (2,500 lbs) per ramp so I can use them on any vehicle I own, including my SUV.

On top of that I have the two piece ramps, so they are easy to move and store. Ideally I'd really like to have a 2 or 4 post lift, but I don't have room for one. And either of those would be substantially more expensive.

Use a 2x8 that is about 24" in length to get you on your ramps. Works like a charm, any variation thereof. You really don't need the much more expensive "race" elongated version if you do it this way.
