Race Ramps or other pragmatic solution for oil change?

Been very happy with EZcarlift, no hydraulics or hoses to deal with. all is needed is a drill. Only draw back in my case, because my car is very low I do need to drive it on top of 2x4's before I can slide the carlift under it. They sell a drive up option but haven't looked at it in detail

Correct the two pieces are connected, but the rear lift cross member can be taken off once the car is in the air for easy access to the transmission and rear of the car

I change my oil on the ground no issues.. And I DONT fit under the car, only tricky bit is the drain pan I use is a 12 quart, fits under car but when all the oil is drained you do have to pull it out slow and steady.
I use a old dollar tree bread pan under the oil filter.

I've got a EZ Car Lift as well, but I don't generally use it for oil changes only (if I have other stuff I need to get done under there sure...). I've had it for about 3 1/2 years and its been great. I use wood ramps as well to get the car high enough to roll the EZ lift under.

I did a variety of methods to jack up the car, but finally purchased the quick jacks......and it also become one of those "while it's jacked up"..
