Default Need Low profile ramps!

My Camaro has the RS package, and I would like to find ramps that will work for me without having to take off front bodywork to use them. Any products anyone has used?

Why not just buy a low profile jack? I have used my AC Delco jack on a car that much lower than an RS Camaro and it worked just fine.

Just make some pre ramps to your ramps. Like a 2X10 piece of lumber or maybe two 2X10 pieces stacked on top of eachother. Make the bottom one longer though.

^^^^^ This is what I use, although mine are 2x6's. 2 pieces, stacked on top of each other. Cut a 45 degree angle on one end, then stack the pieces so the angles provide a smooth transition from one piece to the next.

Same here. Just drive up on some wood blocks and I was good to go...

3 1x4's for each wheel.

GL I know its a pita to have to do that every time but at least its quicker than removing the gFX.

I have to also use some sort of a pre ramp to be able to get up on rhino ramps. I use 2x4's or have even used kids books at times. My car is lowered with the gfx package to it's very low.
