I have to drive my fronts onto homemade 2x6 ramps (normal ones to steep) just to get the jack under the jack points to lift for an oil change.

Gets easier once you do it a few times. It took forever my first time (complete with hot oil, breaker bars, etc) but gets better. Spend $2 and get a filter wrench, but hand-tighten when you put it on - much easier. Also, start the drain bolt with a wrench but finish taking it out by hand; you can reach up above it so you don't get oil on you (or, in my case the first time, in my eyes).
