I have a pair of 56" Race Ramps coming Sunday for my GS. Poverty splitter, so we'll see if I need an extension. I measured per their website, and if I slightly bent the air dams in front of my tires it made the ramps I ordered appear to work fine. No more than when you go up a driveway and they bend a bit. The poverty splitter is higher, so it should be fine.

Sorry that I cannot specifically speak to the GS, but I can tell you about my '18 St'ray--without any aero add-ons, but with a couple years spring "sag" (yes, it does have some).
I have the long RaceRamps and my air-dam just barely touches the ramps as I ease up to it before my tires commence rolling-up the ramps and the clearance then commences increasing. Maybe of some value.

I jack my GS up with low profile jack, then put a Rhino Ramp under each tire...they work perfectly, and give me plenty of space to get under the Vette. They are available everywhere, but I got mine at WalMart.

I have race ramps and the extenders. Used for both my previous Stingray and current GS with stage 3 splitter. The Race Ramps with extender has enough clearance to drive up the ramps without scraping.

Ditto. Z06 with aero 3 - drive right up, no scraping, plenty of room to work.

Another vote for Race Ramps. They worked perfectly when swapping out the exhaust, side skirts, and splitter on my Z06...

$400 For the longer ones.Thinking the more expensive ones have that pocket for the wheels.When jacking from the rear to properly drain ALL oil to level the pan.
That pocket allows you to safely jack from rear.Just to drain oil only.No stands needed.Just to drain oil.Or someone holds the brake with the 56'' ramps if they fit
