Exactly. Same idea using the curb, the curb is the final resting spot for both front tires. The 2x4's allow you to incrementally step up to the curb avoiding damaging any low pro front skirt/end. The curb height is gonna (should) give you enuff lift to get at the drain plug and filter.

Good way to dodge that problem. Put them behind the ramps, to lift the car before bodywork hits the top of the ramp. You might need two of them per side, or a 2×6 or 2×8 to lift the wheels soon enough.
While I have accumulated all 4 (floor/trolley, bottle, scissor jacks and rhino ramps) over the years, there are a lot of ways to skin this cat without needing much more than ramps. In fact ramps are my go to 99% the time I need to get under the car. I find that they're just so much easier to lug around when you have a bad back.
