I have the same set up, only with three levels... same sytem as I use for
leveling a camper. It's easier than ramps and quicker than jackstands when you
don't need to pull a wheel.
There is a curb (kerb to the Brits) about 4' deep and 5" high across the back of
the garage. I use a couple of these boards to run one end of the car up on the
curb, then come back out & up using the boards on the other end of the car...
net effect is to raise the whole car about 5" which is enough for most routine
mid-car work (brake cables, gearbox drain, etc).
