Default Car ramp Question

I am going insain trying to find a part. I have an older set of car ramps that are stell. They are to high to drive my 01 camaro on because the nose rubs them and is to low. Here is my question:

Where can I find what I call ramp guides or extensions that lay on the incline part of the ramps to decrease the angle for driving up the ramps? I saw them last year and now I can't find them.

Is there a set of auto ramps low enough to drive the car up and still have room to get under with out touching?

My car is not lowered. It is stock height.

Rhino Ramps work good, I have a set of them I used them for my Z28 and now my T/A. They raise the car high enough for me to lay underneath on a piece of carboard and change the oil and filter without worrying about touching anything.

If you wanna get the car high, get yourself a nice floor jack, jack that car up 2 feet off the ground and put some jack stands underneath her.

The wooden ramps work the best. I have rhino ramps as well but even with the rubber piece on the bottom they will still slide if I try to drive up on them in my garage because the floor is slick. In the driveway they work fine.

The 2X6 boards work awesome because the car wont push them. Once you drive onto the first board th eweight of the car holds it in place.
