I've owned 3 Tundras and have done dozens of oil changes on them over the years, but I need some advice...

I recently bought and installed a TRD skid plate on my 2017 Tundra Platinum and I'm now left with less room to maneuver under the truck. How do those of you with skid plates you don't remove during oil changes deal with the situation? I have a pair of ramps, but I'm not sure if I want them both on the front wheels or on each of the driver's side wheels.

What do you all do? Do you use ramps or do something else entirely?

Thanks,

Dave
