Default Will I ground the front end on a ramp lift?

If I wanted to raise the back of the car to put on Sharkwerk's bypass but had no other need to raise the car again would a pair of ramps work? I'm thinking with the very low front end clearance would something like a Rhino ramp cause the front end to bottom out? I have the lift so could raise the car front first.
I do understand that if I want to get into more "under the car" work or removing wheels, changing pads etc I will get a far more robust system. This is purely for a one off occurrence and want to check the clearance issue. Txs.

Just lift the front end and you should be clear. We are able to put only the rear on jack stands on the lowest setting to install our exhaust and the front bumper is close, but does not touch the ground

One thing for sure, if you need to flat bed...even with the lift, the car won't get on or off w/o destroying the front lip. A 5-6' plank for both wheels is required.

AC, why didn't you just use the lift at the back of the shop? Just curious.
