One of my lfs has started going out of business so I got a great deal on a 72" x30" x15" 120 gallon tank setup. Will this make a good tank for 1-2 full grown rays? Or will the low depth cause an issue? Tank has a large 1000 gph sump and UV system included.

The low depth is not an issue, width and length are much more so. The bigger the footprint of the tank the better
That size tank would work very well with any of the smaller species/variants of ray, such as Hystrix, scobina or mini marble
Tank would be good for some time. But would be tight for the female once she gets big. I currently have a breeding pair in my 210. Marble female and henlei hybrid male. They are doing fine but ope to have them in at least a 3ft tank asap
not to mention your total water volume is so small that they would make super high nitrates fast. You'd have a hard time keeping up with water changes. Whats a 1000gph sump? like a canister filter? if so what kind? I'd say you need 2 FX6's and you'd still struggle.
