Had a borrow of a pair of drive up car ramps this afternoon to fit my new Maniflow Side exit system, and even they got the job done I'd like something higher. Years ago my Dad made a set of drive up ramps which were long enough to get all 4 wheels on and were inclined all the way, brilliant but with the onset of chasing woman they got left at my mothers and now are in a bad state with tin worm.
What do you use here on TMF as I dont need to get the whels off on it and stands and jacking would mark my underside which is fully painted.
Pics of anything appreciated or where something is available at a reasonable cost

Stick a cloth other the top of a Trolley Jack and Put it on Axle Stands at their highest level. If thats not high enough, go buy a 2 post ramp

I don't mind stands as long as Its not an exhaust.
You just spend an hour swearing and smacking your head. LOL

You can get trolley jacks with rubber pads fitted. We have got the low entry light weight one from Machinemart and that has one fitted.
