then just raise the car a little bit (usually tires can stay on the ground) until you can get the second jack under the front brace. some folks use 2x4's or low profile ramps and drive onto it to get more clearance for the front jack point. that works great too, but kind of a hassle imho. then use your jack stands at the factory jack points. for the rear just use the diff.

i use this for my knees.

The clearance on these jacks is 3 inches and change, so just do a little measuroo to confirm clearance and you're good to go. They only weigh about 20 lbs.
