Easy solution, don't slam the car. Functionality > Aesthetics.

Find a local shop with an in-ground alignment rack. Most speed shops will have them this way.

If that doesn't work, gather all your classmates and get them to man handle the car onto the hoist

2x4 on 2x4 normally the car will just stuck on the hump where the ramp ends and the rack begins but if the rear wheels start to go up the ramp (or 2x4) before the center of the car hits the hump you'll be fine if it's still to low you could use more 2x4 on the fronts also to elevate the fronts but I doubt your that low on a side not very dangerous don't do it at all just raise your car and get alignment
