I had this happen to me once too, I had to raise that jack stand one click above the others. It only happened that once. I also put the jack where I will be working and slide my extra wheels and tires under the car as well.

The liftbars do look pretty cool, would be nice to get that extra height under the car.

It only takes 3 lifts of the jack for me to get the car up on the highest jack stand setting (lift back, set back jack stands at lowest setting. Lift front, set jackstands at higher setting. Lift back again and set back stands at higher setting), or two lifts if I want a lower setting, so I don't think the liftbars would save me any time there. That extra height would sure be nice though...
