I have a Contemporary and my 4 post lift is too steep to get up without scraping. The folks at Race Ramps will custom make light weight foam ramps. I diagrammed a ramp that allows the metal ramp from my 4 post to sit on a lip of the Race Ramps ramp, which then extends out another 42" for a nice shallow incline. They charged me about $350 to make them if memory serves me right.

As for a floor jack, I have a low profile extended reach Daytona from Harbor Freight, it reaches the rear crossmember from the back, and both sides can be lifted as well. If I need to lift from the front I just drive onto the lightweight Race Ramp ramps, which also serve as regular ramps, and I can get the jack underneath the front from there. Also, I always use a hockey puck on the pad of the jack, it saves everything from getting scraped up.

Hope some of this helps.
