Looking for advise on the easiest method of getting low cars onto the hoist.

[GophersGarage]

I have a 2 post hoist and normally would use custom wood mini ramps to drive car on top and then slip arms underneath. However its super annoying and even with rubber feet they move at times and I have to mess around to get car up in the air.

I see plastic ramps available that are 2 parts. I am not sure on low cars if they will work.
I was then thinking of Go Jacks to lift each corner up and then slip arms under.

Your thoughts?

Are you able to slide a low profile floor jack under the front and rear center supports of the car?
For lowered cars I usually bring them in as I normally would any other car and then roll a low profile floor jack under the rear center support (assuming it has one), pump it up once or twice (its only taking a few hundred pounds of load off the suspension), then I can move the rear arms tp the lift points. Do the same and the front - done.

Or,.. if i have LOTS of lowered cars one week then i will toss down some 1x6 wood that usually give just enough extra height.

I made 2x10 ramps. 45 degree cuts and staggered back, 3 levels, first level was extended out a bit so tire would hold the ramp down befor accending the next 2 levels. Stapled sandpaper to the bottoms.
