your average auto store ramps ,(especially the cheap stamped steel versions)are dangerous and won,t allow the corvettes low approch angle to drive up on them, get the tires centered off/center and they frequently bend or tip, the RINO RAMPS work ok, but are FAR from high enought or stabile enought for serious work, and they tend to skid as you try to roll up on them occasionally


heres some better options

look closely at the details on these ramps, you could buy those or weld up something similar at reasonable cost and with custom dimensions

excellent value but expensive at $1600 for the heavy duty set Id suggest as its a small increase in price over the standard set

these are made to YOUR specs if you want them custom

keep in mind if youve got a spare weekend and a few hundred dollars worth of alluminum or steel and a decent welder , you can build a fantastic set of heavy duty ramps
ive got these last two in the shop

welders may seem expensive, but they rapidly pay for themselfs, yeah! I know, you don,t have the cash, well I didn,t either, but I sold some engine parts and did odd repairs and put a part of the cost on plastic, Ive easily saved far more than the welders cost over the years in repairs and building custom parts ETC.
at times you can sit down, design something and price out the steel or aluminum and find you can easily save 50%-70% on projects
