I used a piece of a 2x4 with my standard jack, worked just fine. Had a friend push the car back with me in it on the brakes.

I have a standard 3-ton jack that doesn't quite fit, but it does fit with the saddle off. What I do is remove the saddle, align the jack on the rear jacking point (in front of the rear wheel), place thick cardboard (folded shipping box) between the car and the jack, and lift.

I need to get the custom saddle attachment, but for now this works and doesn't damage the car in the process. I lift one side up, put the stands in, then repeat on the other side.

just the back in this particular instance (had a flat tire).

When i go to put my winter wheels on, I'll lift the back the same way, swap the back tires, then roll it forward onto the 2x4's and do the front.
