Is the V8V too low for ramps?

Hey guys,

I combed through a lot of threads about oil changes etc and I know lots of you have lifts. There's also a bunch of people that have built custom low profile ramps etc but I can't find any definitive info on whether or not standard Amazon/Autozone ramps will work with a standard non lowered version. I have an 06' by the way.

Thank you!

Should clear. You're talking about Rhino ramps? I had a 07 V8V stock setup that cleared.

i bought a pair of black polyurethane ramps at walmart for my 2007 8v8. the car can easily be pulled on forward or backed onto them. no problem. in fact, to facilitate a DIY oil/filter job, i backed the car on to them, then jacked up the left and put a jackstand under it, and then the same for the right side. that made for a level car with access to the underside.

these are the ones: https://www.walmart.com/ip/RhinoGear...3&from=/search

Race Ramps

I agree with gaussianmist - Race Ramps are the way to go. I use them on my corvette with no problems.

Okay so got the Rhino ramps. They definitely DO NOT clear the front. This is for an 06 V8 Vantage- stock height and stock front bar.
