Default Car ramps

Any suggestion for a pair of car ramps. Something I could use on a 2011 LS sport. Need ones that can handle the low clearance and the weight. Do they make such a thing without having to add on or modify a regular ramp.?
Sometime in the future I may or may not want to change the oil myself. But would like to have the option.
Thanks

I saw those a couple weeks ago at a Corvette restoration shop. They appear heavy, but they are really lightweight.

I've seen her before! She's a weightlifter...

Raceramps are nice, but pricey. I've had Petersen's Tru-cut 6500 series ramps + UR2000 extensions for more than 10 years, and they work quite well, including on Z06 'vettes and M roadsters.

I have had the Rhino ramps in the past. They work fine for most vehicles that are not lowered.

I ended up making my own out of 1X12... Just needed to get the car up enough to get a jack under it..
