Default Rhino ramps and a stock ride height C5

Will a C5 at the stock ride height fit up a set of grey rhino ramps without the aid of plywood? How much can you lower a C5 before it becomes a problem getting up these ramps?

I use Rhino ramps on my 99 coupe with out any problem. I have not lowered my car yet. The ramps do bend the front air dam a little but it is pretty flexible and I have not had any issues yet (nothing busted).

Hope this helps.

Lower it anymore than a couple turns and you can kiss those ramps goodbye. I have mine lowered about and inch and have to drive onto plywood to even get a jack under one side

Cajun, I love those rims on your car, they are the best ones I've seen on a C5 so far! Very nice!

As was stated above, the grey Rhino ramps work just fine; 2X12 boards make it easier.

Make sure the boards have tapered ends; saw a guy damage his front facia when he drove up on boards without tapered ends and the board tipped upwards and hit his facia.

You need boards like these anyway to get most jacks under the car for tire removal (cleaning the interior of the wheels, etc.), changing your oil, etc., etc.

Hope this helps.
