Default What do you use to lift Lexus-Ramp or jack and clearance questions

Ive got a regular Steel Car ramp, I can not drive the low Lexus on that ramp due to its height.
What do you use as a ramp that doesnt have clearance problems

If you use a non Lexus jack, what do you use to safely attach to the undersides?

If its Do-It-Yourself, what did you make?
Thanks

I use Rhino ramps. They are lower, and made of this crazy plastic. They held up to my fathers town car. And as far as jack, i have a ton of different ones, and there is an are under the car with a big flat section of the frame that the shops use to lift you car by. I use that to jack up the car.

Hey man,

As Perry has shown, a piece of wood on the ramp will give your front end clearance. When I am jacking my car I have an AC Delco performance jack and then I use 2 stands to secure it.

I have been meaning to get ramps but I do not have a garage so I don't have anywhere to keep them.
