Default Garage lifting system(rocker)

Does anyone know of a compact garage lifting system to go under the rocker rail to facilitate easy lifting on lowered cars? Almost like a projack but goes under the rocker for unibody cars.

I just picked up a Quickjack 5000 for my race car.. So far I am very happy with it.
I am lowered on coil overs, and will be adding skirts.

Do you have to drive up on boards or something to get the car high enough to get Jack's under rockers?

Not yet, but the car is set up a little higher right now in "dyno mode".. Race trim is a little lower.. It will be very close.

Are you guys able to put the jacks in the center and drive over them without hitting anything with your c6"s?

I have the 7000 which is 1/2" higher than the 5000 when fully collapsed. I leave mine down all of the time and ride over them whenever moving the car in and out of the garage. I have them positioned just inside the wheel base, leaving about a foot gap in between them. This is to allow room for the headers, which may sit lower than the stock system. I don't leave the rubber lifting blocks in place though, as these may not leave enough height. So when I want to lift the car, I pull the lifts out the side slighty, drop the blocks in, and slide them back into position to lift the car. No issues. And again, this is with the 7000 which is higher.
