make a homemade ramp or just by some 2x4 so you can drive on them so the car will be a bit higher from the ground so you can get a jack under there.

I used the stock jack to lift it high enough to slide my floor jack for faster lifting.

I place bricks under the front of both front tires then drive up onto them so i can slide the floor jack under the car.

I just drive up on my ramps. The ramps have extra extensions made out of two interlocking plastic pieces to make the transistion easier.

The other thing you can do is drive up on a curb at the driveway... That gets about 11 inches.
