I am 6'2" 190 lbs, so my "profile" isn't overly portly. My garage is tiny, 9'x16' by a bit less than 8' tall, so no room for a lift.

As for my stands, I think they go up either 18" or 20" or I also have the taller 10" Race ramps XT. It's not that I can't get under the car, but I did find a difference in the height of creepers (I had no idea it would be significant) - and the difference was material enough for me to create a post to ask of suggestions.

I think the mats are an interesting idea and might be worth the tradeoff of not being able to roll as easily under the car.
