What I do is put two pieces of 2X4 wood about 10" long under each wheel and then drive the car up onto these blocks. That gives me enough clearance to get the jack under the car. When I'm done with my work I just make sure to lower the wheels back onto these blocks, take the jack out, and just roll the car off the blocks. I learned to do this on my lowered Honduh. Just maybe $2 in materials and a little hassle.
i do the same, drive on the blocks and then i can slide the jack under there
