I was wondering, what do you guys use to raise your lowered cars? I'm having a problem raising my C6 because my jack cannot fit under the front of my vehicle, nor the ramps that I used to use on my Mustang.
Can anyone give me some ideas because I need to lower my car this week and change my oil. Any homemade ramps? Any "ghetto" ideas that actually work Anything creative
actually that sounds like a great idea.. i tried something similar but the the wood kept moving when i accelerated on it...
will try to do it tonight!
Thanks!
I have the same wood moving problem. sucks
I am going to try laying some thin beads of silcone on the underside of the wood. Maybe that will give a little grip on the smooth surface of the garage floor.

I usually have my son hold them with his feet (with the hopes of me not running over him). j/k of course.
It usually takes me a couple attempts. Once the front is up on the wood I have to first jack from the rear, prop it up on stands and then go to the front.
I guess the easy way would be to have a two-post lift, oh only if my pocketbook was limitless...
even better go on down to a sporting good store or a maybe home depot and get some skate board grip tape slap some on the bottom you wont have any slidding problems after that! and it wont hurt your garage also for thos with nice floors
If you are on a budget..go to Home depot and look in the cut lumber barrel for some cut 2x6..two pieces about 3 ft long and use a cheap rubber door mat on the underside to keep the planks for sliding...it works for me.
You may want to use a step ramp like shown if the 2x6 don't work for you..but still use a cheap rubber door mat on the underside, you can tack it on with 1/2" roofing nails...
Nail/staple some old floor mat in front edge of the wood ramp, the weight of the front wheel on the mat will hold the wood ramp in place as you go up......

I use the same "stack of lumber" bit. To keep it from moving I drilled two properly located holes in the garage floor. Into each hole I drop a 2" long by 1/2" bolt that the lumber can push against (opposite end from where the car is coming from) Voila!
Race Ramps. Not cheap, but even though the front air dam is trying to push them, they stick like glue to whatever surface they're on. Amazingly light too.
Look in the back of your import daily driver and get out that nice scissors jack (mine is a Nissan Altima) which fits under my lowered on stock bolts C5

What do you guys use to RAISE your lowered cars?
Happy Monday!!
Anything creative 
For the price it can't be beat. But i also have a low profile jack for other jacking needs
