Raising L322 enough to lay comfortably under it

Am going to lightly pressure wash the underside of our 2003 RR and once dry, treat it with Lanoguard or similar (open to suggestions).

Currently the raise/lower feature isn’t working (will create a separate post regarding this) so I’ll need to raise the car. I’d rather not use axle stands as the driveway is on a slight slope, what’s best to actually drive the car up onto?

Heavy duty ramps, or anything else I can use to gain another 8 to 10” clearance? What are you guys using?

I’ve got 4 of these. Really sturdy and good quality.

I'll 3rd that, the 4 HD ramps add about 12cm and not too expensive.

I've used on the street and the gravel drive way, very stable. Fuji White / Jet 2012 4.4 TDV8 Westminster

Those ramps look quite decent. I had to use a Heath Robinson method a few days ago.

I have seen a few of these, seem to work well - gives max height of 47cm

Do one side at a time perhaps !

Absolutley correct - ramps are the only safe way to do it on a slope but if your air suspension is faulty and there is any danger of it suddenly dropping you would be wise to add some additional support to prevent this. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)
