Race Ramps RR-XT-2 67" question...

I just bought these and when setting them in front of my ZL1 the front lip BARELY clears, I mean like less than a quarter of an inch of clearance. I am NOT lowered. Are any of you guys noticing this same thing?

It's been a few years since I used mine because I bought a lift, but I don't remember any issue that concerned me when pulling on for oil changes.

I didn't think I'd have any either, but that is a lot closer than I expected it to be.

I saw a few people suggesting the 56" ramps and saying they work with the ZL1, I don't know how that is possible if the 67" version is this tight on my car....

The ramp slope is the same between the 2 so there is no difference on the approach, only the height of the lift.

I see. Anyone have a picture of their car about to go up the ramp to tell me if the picture I posted is the same as what you see?

Ditto here, same ramps, closer than I thought it would be, but no problems.

However, I have yet to put the back of the car up on them.
What happens up front when you back up the ramps??

ok, no problems, but do they offer as little clearance as my picture shows for you as well?
