Going over 2 feet in the air is more than enough.

The ramps come with a center bridge that you can use to jack up the car with a bottle or scissors jack and put it on stands once it's elevated and leveled. This page on the company website shows some pix:

One nice "storage" feature is that you can detach the ramps from their elevated base, drop them to the floor and simply drive over them when you want to park in the garage. Each ramp weighs about 150 pounds, so they don't shift much, especially when they're linked together with the torque tube. The whole thing must weigh close to 500 pounds, so it's extremely stable.
