x2 on the Race Ramps. Use them on the vette, GSX and of course the SS. The 4x4 I can safely say I don't need them.

I like that once the car is at the top, I can remove the ramp portion, allowing easy access for creeper, etc.

I will buy a set soon. I have two cars now I have to use two small street rod ramps to get the jack under the cars to lift them. They are about 5 inches high and help get the jack under the car.

Rino ramps are out as they hit the air dams before the tires.

I like the race ramps but since my heart attack have to consider price so rhino ramps would be more down my line however with that said I use homemade ramps from 2X12's

I'm not lowered, and the Rhino Ramps don't clear. I'll either have to notch my air dam or play around with metal, wood or cement pieces to clear.

There are many cars today that need a ramp like a Race Ramp. Most are cars that cost a great deal of money so the cost is not as much a factor as it is for other.

The SS is like my Fiero that has a large aftermarket front airdam. While they cost more it is nice not to have to fool with a bunch of other things just to get the car in the air.

I have an SS and Rhino Ramps. The front cowl drags on the ramp. I found this solution on a Corvette forum:

I built them for under $20 and they work well.
