On the drivers side the front AC line was just slightly in the way and I had to tilt the rubber block prior to jacking to get it around the AC line, otherwise it would pinch if I just came straight up. I had similar issue on the passenger side with the oil lines which I had to make sure the rubber blocks were just slightly inside more than the drivers side to clear the lines.
You posted right before I could make my next post. I had exactly the same problem. I addressed it the first time by placing the ramps a little closer inboard but I didn't like it.

This time I disconnected the two clamps holding the A/C line next to the pinch weld and pulled the line out of the way. I also used a slotted "hockey puck" to sit right on the pinch weld.

That allowed me to place the ramps closer to the tires which was much more stable.

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy car parts which is kind of the same thing.
