Yea pictures of the drop, and I would recommend 2x4s to help you stay low and still be able to work on the car when needed. Here is a picture of my friends driveway set up.

If it is a jack that you can't get onto, you can buy a lower profile jack (harbor freight has a really low one for under $100). Not sure what you mean by lift unless you have a personal one or your car is often in the shop.

Old thread, but I have this from Harbor Freight and it is very low and very long, probably will do the trick though it is VERY HEAVY.
