How big is your belly? They work fine for me, and I'm 6'3 1/2" and weigh 235 lbs. The height is good enough for oil changs and minor work. Otherwise, you'll want a lift and jackstands.

The ride height of my '89 is stock and the spoiler
will contact the big (12,000#) ramps. But no
worries, I place 2 - 10" long 2x4's in front of the
ramps.
A nice feature of the Rhino Ramps is the rubber
anti-skid puck. The metal ramps I used to use
with other cars were a royal pain because they
always skidded forward as I attempted to climb
them.

Unlike Brad, I'm 5'9 and 200# and I find the Rhino Ramps totally useless.

I couldn't change a transmission with Rhino's
but I roll around under the fr/rr of the car on a
creeper to get at maintenance items.
I've got a Norco #71230 2-1/4 ton floor jack
and tall stands to get altitude when necessary.
But that is a PITA for the little stuff. Those floor
scissor hoists obstruct the stuff I'd want access
to and the 2/4 post hoists won't fit in my garage
- so when the car needs to really fly, I take it
to one of a few friendly shops I deal with.
What works for you ??

and Googled without turning up anything about
optional extensions.

I use my Kangaroo Ramps. Bought them years ago and they are great, I do have to use some 2 x 8's as some others have mentioned, but it gets the car nice and high. I mostly use the ramps on the rear since I'm able to drive up them no problem, then I just jack up the front with one of my floor jacks.
I also use a jack a vette for the rear if I already have the front up on ramps.

Also, fyi, Someone else had mentioned a floorjack. Sears has a neat, compact 4500lb floor jack, with carrying case, on sale for $29. Saw it and couldn't resist.

I had to make some stepped ramps to lead up to them and had to hack the end stop off. Otherwise the air dam would not even be close to clearing it on my stock height 96.
