Raising 965 for driveway oil change, ramps don't work...what do you do? S90-V90 1997

The ramps were dandy for all my 240s, so I never thought the 965 wouldn't clear.

Place ramps, drive slowly forward, and the lower edge of the air dam hits the ramp way before the front tires are near the ramp. So gotta do something creative.

Jack up 965 with scissor jack, jam ramp under the tire, lower jack. Do other side. Then drive up to flat part of ramp, e-brake in place, and go to work.

Reverse the process to get back down. Seems a lengthy and off-putting process.

Any ideas from you? (Using a Jiffy-Lube type place is not an option.)

Thanks,

Bob
