Exclamation FS - 56" 2 piece race ramps (time sensitive)

I am in the OKC metro, but I will be coming to Dallas this weekend (April 4-6), so you can avoid shipping costs.

I received the ramps today, but they don't clear my car (despite what the picture shows). I thought I'd try here before I return them. If nobody local or in DFW wants them, back they go.

Here is the test to see if they'll fit under your car:

I paid $224 for them, plus $10 for the wheel chock.

PM or email if you're interested.

man, if you were coming to houston, id probably pick them up from you, as my crappy rhino ramps wont clear my stock c5 ride height.

you sure they wont clear? dont they make a size longer like 65"+ or is that the longest grade?
how low are you not being able to clear? cut bushings or coilovers?

Well, I don't know. I haven't tried to drive up on them, but when I push them to the tire, the air dam deflects a lot. The longer ramps (67") have the same approach angle (~10.5 deg), they're just longer because they lift 2" higher (+$100 or so!!). You have to buy their extensions for $120 to reduce the approach angle to 6 deg.

If you're serious, I'd be willing to drive down 45 a little ways; however, that would cost us more in fuel than it would to have them ship you a set.
