Argess, I use a separate set of ramps for my Z06 (which actually sits lower than the SPF). Go out and buy three 8' sections of 2x10 or 2x12. Cut two lengths 5', 2 more 4', 2 @ 3' and 2 @ 2'. Cut them at 45* so you have a little less lip to roll over. Then sandwich them to create a stepped ramp (pre-drill your through holes and use decking screws to fasten together). Place a 2x4 across the top step (at the end) to give you a little insurance so you don't roll too far forward. Once you drive up on these, then you can jack up the other end securely.

I stow these under my "Poor Man's Qwik Lift" when I'm not using them. I can't use my ramp system with the 'Vette because the sills on the 'Vette are much lower and the wheelbase is a good 8-9 inches longer. I tried to build different bridges and longer ramp sections, but in the end I just made a pair of the stacked ramps and move them out when I do maintenance on my daily driver.
