Question Bump, Bump, Bump

This question is for anyone who's car is lowered and does their own oil change. I'm thinking of getting a pair of ramps to help in changing my oil instead of jacking up the car. Will I have any issues driving the car up the ramp being that its lowered? I don't have any sort of front lip. I've done this before on my dad's cars but his wasn't lowered. I just want to confirm this before I go out and buy it.

Just make your own ramps.

^^Thanks for the suggestion but I ended up getting the Rhino ramps when I bought my oil and filter. I should be able to get the car up on the ramps since I'm not slammed. At least that's what I'm hoping. Just a heads up DIY'ers, Advanced Auto has a special on 5 quarts of Mobil 1 synthentic oil which includes a Mobil 1 oil filter for $30. The special ends today though.
