Smile Re: Servicing Shelby GT & Car Ramps Blues

I just changed my oil on my 2008 shelby using two low tech ramps made out of 2 x 10's. The base board is 32" long, spaced 6" back the next board lays on top of the first, then screwed down. The third board is 6" back on top of the second. Drove the car right up on them and had enough clearance to change oil and filter. Took all of 15 minutes to make them.

Neither of my 2 standard floor jacks will not fit under the car.

Looking for suggestions/solution to changing oil on '07 Shelby GT as really prefer to service the car myself.

Also looking/dreaming about 2 post lift for my shop, but have concerns about clearance issues. Mohawk lift appears to work at 3 1/2" but spendy.
Anyone have a 2 post lift they would recommend.

Thanks.
