btw, how high do you guys need the car off the ground to reach the front jack point? cause the flatstoppers i have are pretty low profile and could possibly do double duty for those that need a short ramp?

the car sits like 1.5"-2" off the ground while on flat stoppers.

I have been thinking about this for a while, just haven't actually done it. I contemplated full size wooden ramps, but have since decided I just need some small ones to get the front end high enough to clear my jack

They're like really low height ramps that you drive up on, right? I think I need closer to 3-4" but I will check tonight. I don't really have need for them since I don't store the car, but if the price is right...

yah, they are low ramps with a rounded cup area to hold the tires while in storage.

price is probably not right....

they cost north of $200 for 4pcs.

Mine right now are about 3-4" high, but I think a better height is 5-6". to get that you need about 3 planks of wood.

I am hoping to get away with two pieces stacked, but we shall see... my low profile jack is pretty close to being able to fit already (it hits the chin spoiler at the very back of the jack near where the handle attaches).
