This is the problem because the bumper gets much closer to the ground. Even at stock height, the jack is just long enough to reach, but, two quick jacking sessions and the entire car is off the ground.

I posted a coupon for $109 a while back but it expired around Nov/Dec. This jack is heavy but it's reach is spectacular. Unfortunately there's no aluminum version.
Mine, although I paid $129 about a year ago and still consider it worth it. It's an all-in-one jack I use for my FR-S and then with it's high lift ability that exceeds almost all others, my FJ Cruiser.

Selvedge, for the front crossmember lift I put a 2X4X24 between the lift top and car to spread the load.
