What kind of jacks are you guys using? My little hydraulic floor jack isn't low enough, thinking about checking Northern Tool to see if they have a reasonably portable low profile one... or go back to the ol' scissor jack :doh:

I don't have one low enough for my cars either. I just do the lame, roll it on to boards trick to get a jack under it.
I found this on the Northern Tool site. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200345429_200345429
Now that I rooming with my cousin who's in the USAF I just get him to drive on base with my car and go the Auto Skills Development Center and rent a lift and tool's for $5 an hour.

a Harbor Freight jack should suffice. but i use the OEM scissor jack first and then my cheap old Autozone jack after. but of course im not that low :goodjob:

use ramps with a low profile.thats just about the best way to do it. drive it up on the ramps first then use a jack.

Thats what I do.
I raise the front 1-2in. with the scissor jack, then put the hydraulic under the sides to lift the car up.
