Which car ramps for DIY access on driveway [solved]
Wheels of my 2015 Civic SE Plus I-Vtec unable to even reach bottom of my old large metal ramps. Tried a pair of Katsu plastic ramps but front bumper still hitting ramps due to low profile and protruding front end of this model.
Cleary I need a longer more gradual gradient ramp but don't think such ramps exist :/ Anyone found best fit for this model so I can access under front end without relying on axle stands. Or should I simply use a pair of ramps as stands and jack up the front wheels and place the ramps under manually. Would still prefer that to axle stands, using jacks either side as a safety back-up.
Be interested to know of the workarounds others use for DIY access to the front underside. Thanks.

I haven't bothered with ramps in 15 years, modern cars are too low. Just use jackstands

I use rhino ramps and just suck it up that a small piece of plastic rubs on the way up. I think the company is called "Race Ramps" that sells ramps for low profile cars
