Answer:

Hello, okorder okorder / Anyway, I think ramps will be your best bet but you will probably have to utilize a combination of a ramp system, wheel cribs or jack stands, or a bit of them all. Personally, the wheel crib and wheel block setups are what I prefer instead of jack stands as I have seen jack stands fail (very scary and dangerous when that happens obviously). I hope this helps!
those are your two options, ramps or a lift. or just a really nice hydraulic jack and a nice set of jack stands, which you could easily get for less than $400. or just dig a trench in the backyard and drive the car over it ;) ...kidding on that one!
