Thanks for the posts about the ramps. Made me think about my old style ramps with an easy 12" lift. I have lots of 2x8 laying about, maybe if I make a small incline with the 2x8 in front of the ramps, the ramps will clear.

What I'm thinking is cut a 2x8 at 3 feet, then another at 2 feet, then one at 1 foot. Stack and nail together to make an incline and lay in front of the ramps so the car gets up 4-1/2" before hitting the ramps. Might work. Will let you know.

I have a floor jack, just don't like getting under it.
