Default Race Ramps 67" or 72" for 2024 IS 350?

Does anybody have experience with race ramps 67" or 72"?

I'm trying to figure out which race ramps would be better for the 2024 Lexus IS 350. The car is stock. Nothing is modified and I don't plan to lower the car at all. This would be for oil changes and simple things like that. I tried doing the yardstick test on their website and it recommends these two measurements as an option but I'm still unsure which to get. I'm concerned 67" still won't clear but also there is less space to work with for 72" when under the car. The videos help a little bit but people don't say how lowered their cars are when demonstrating the use of the race ramps.

They are pricey and don't want to make a buying mistake with the big price tag.

I have a set of 56” two piece Race Ramps that work fine for my stock 2014 IS350. Being able to remove the ramp part with the car elevated provides more work space. I no longer use them as I switched to a QuickJack system, but keep them as a spare.

I'm using these on a 2022 and 2017 IS, works great!

It's more the incline that you'd have to check, these are 9.5 degrees.

I'm using the 67" on my IS500 and it works perfect. No issue going up and down, and oil changes are even easier than on my F150.

The exact title: 67" XT Two Piece Race Ramps - 10.8 Degree Approach Angle
