Wheel ramps that fit under a 98+ T/A???

Is there such thing as a wheel ramp that fits under a 98+ T/A with the stock body kit? I'm changing my oil for the first time on my new baby today and I have two sets. One that used to barely fit under my Camaro, and one that is just too big to even consider. Well, I used the smaller ones, and they didn't quite make it under the T/A... So I cut some 2x4's to "extend" the ramps a bit, and just barely got my car up on them... unfortunately slightly scratching the underside of the bumper (just a tiny lil scratch, no biggie). But are there any ramps that anyone has found to fit under the T/A perfectly?

looks like imma hafta go buy a damn oil filter wrench too! Guess the guy before me hadn't changed the oil yet, so it's still the original filter, which is on there tight as hell!

I can feel for ya with the body kit and all, I have mine lowered 2 inches. I just have some regular yellow ramps from Benny's I think. Just make sure they can hold your cars weight. The go find some nice strong boards the same width of the ramp. Just lead the wood up to the ramp to make it less of a steep incline an nothing will scrape. Just have someone with you to make sure you don't drive off the front of the ramp, and also for safety reasons while under your car. Good luck.

I use rhino ramps from wal-mart on my car. 30 bones. No problems with them. You can use an old belt as an oil wrench too!

rhino ramps are the black or gray plastic ones, works great and there's a lip to prevent you from driving over it

I have the yellow metal ramps (not sure which brand). I got the extenders they seel for them, that are plastic and hook on to the holes on the ramp and extends it an extra 3 feet. Only way I can get my car (which is dropped almost 2 inches)
