Anyone tried Discount Ramps 6009-V2 to reach front jack point?

I am having problem reaching front "center jack point" with my current floor jack. I could either get second floor jack to lift the car from the side first and then insert the main jack.

Or I can use a low profile ramp such as Discount Ramps 6009-V2 to lift the car enough for the floor jack to go in. Which method works better?

I have a Daytona 3 ton floor jack which is 7" at highest point. My M4 front bumper has a ground clearance of 6".

6"+2.5"(ramp height) > 7", so it should work theoretically. I just don't know how well it would work compare to a second jack.

What you guys using to jack this car up?

This is what I use, along with a low profile jack. I do not have any problems jacking up the car and then putting jack stands on the sides.
