Although expensive, I'm thinking about these as a lifetime investment:
I've done the self-made wood ramps before, but I like the concept of these....supposedly non-skid and they are detachable for when you need to get between the wheelbase.

Eastwood makes these for your jack, but it wouldn't be difficult to adapt them to a jackstand.
Here's what I use all the time for ramps to get the jack under the car:
Bought the wood at Lowes, had them cut it for me, screwed and glued it at home.

I also built some ramps out of 2x10s. I actually have 3 pieces of wood stacked, although I rarely drive up onto the 3rd level.
Like stated above, just have them cut all the pieces for you right at home depot. Screw em together an blam, a set of garage ramps for under $20.

Heres what I dont get, for that much money, why not just go to a metal fab shop and have them weld you some ramps to your own specific needs. If I had a MIG welder, I would have made my own years ago.
