A couple tips for people trying to get your car up a little higher for maintenance.
I use ramps for my oil change sometimes, and they slide forward when you are trying to drive up them. I attached a 2x2 piece to one end of two plywood pieces, then the weight of the car is on the plywood, ramps are contained by the 2x2, and they don't slide anywhere.
For jacking the car I attached two pieces of 2x10 together with screws, one piece longer than the other, with the end cut on a slant. When you drive the front of the car up on these woods, it is now high enough for your jack to slide underneath the front.
I have 1.6 drop, and my low profile jack won't slide under without this.
Hope these tips make someones life a little easier.
