Default Four Post Lift - Ramps?

I have a BendPak HD-9 lift and I am trying to determine if the Race Ramps RR-Rack-5 ramps will work. Does anyone with a 4 post lift that is 5" off the floor (when down) have these ramps? Stock C2 20/21 wheels. Thanks!

I have the same lift. Do you have PASM? I bet without its not issue. Otherwise for my other cars I have race ramps and no issues for MUCH lower vehicles. Good luck!

Love them. I have the same lift - although I keep the GT3 in the air...BUT..the aluminum race ramps are brilliant as they look good with galvanized checker plate - but equally important, less than 1/2 the weight of the steel ones and much easier to manage when you extend your arms to drop them into the female slots on the lift. They are also long enough that you can keep them raised on a slight angle resting on the back of the car with rubber between them and the rear end of the bumper so the ramps don't scratch the car.

Get the longer aluminum ramps. I have an HD-9 too, and the stock steel ramps were not only steep, but they were super heavy. The aluminum ones are waaaay easier to put on and take off the lift.

Ordered the 40 inch Race Ramps - supposed to be here tomorrow. No PASM. I'm hoping the 911 will clear....

the race ramp calculator helps figure out what ramp length you need.

Hopefully the 40" you ordered will work!

Race Ramps RR-5 40 inch did clear! Not by a lot -- they are super light and easy to handle. Bought them from Summit Racing. Got here in 2 days. Free Shipping $270 plus tax to Texas
