Default clubsport on lift?

Does anyone have words of wisdom regarding getting the car up on a two post lift? I'm just beginning to try. First problem is that the car is too low to let lift arms underneath. Driving tires up on 2x4s fixes that. Next problem is that the lifting points are too far inboard for the lift pads to reach without hitting the lower edge of bodywork.
I'm sure there's a way. I am just looking for an easy way. I hope someone who's been there, done that will share.

I have a four post lift at home. I use small ramps and then hockey pucks on top of the lift pads.

Four of these…

I also have marks on the floor so I can position the ramps properly.

forgot…. I also have two of these positioned after the rear ramps so I’ll can just drive over the whole setup.

I use(d) the air hacks to raise the car enough, then swing the lift arms in.

Air jack sounds great if you have your nitrogen at the garage,

drive over and then back up on 2x6s 2 feet long

use the hockey pucks and put them under the shipping tie downs points from the frame,

you’re also need to use the hockey puck style rubber because to remove the plastic in this location, there is one screw and one plastic nut at the rear on each side
these are very close to this frame point that need to be removed to get the middle under engine cover off

Default lifting points

I'm not sure what "shipping tie down points" are.

The oval holes under the frame at the jack points are what they use on the ship to secure the cars to the container.

the rubber puck just covers those and still let’s you take off the undercover without gong up and down multiple times.
