I put the small connector ones (about 3" high) in back of the front wheels and roll onto them as well to get more height so that my front spoiler doesn't scrape the pavement.

What they all said.

QuickJacks for lifting entire vehicle up to 24" ( I have the 7000TL ). $$$, heavy and take up space, but great for having room to work. Especially, if you're doing your own Oil, DCT, Brake fluid/pads, etc.
Race Ramps for lifting front, or rear 10".

Race Ramps shown above are great 2-piece option for side access.
I have the 56" single piece version, which really limits you to access to just straight in from the front or back

DIY
There are numerous YT videos on making them out 2x6 wood

Hi,Quick Jack seems a little bit pricey than what I was looking for. I’ll look at race ramps and/or building my own. Thanks for the ideas.
