I had the same issue when I lowered my car. My standard 3 ton jack was not low enough to get under the front bumper to the jacking point. For an immediate solution, I cut some 2x8 to about 24" long and just drove the front wheels onto them, and the jack slid under.
For a longer term solution, harbor freight sells a 2 ton long reach jack for $140, even less when its on sale:

Its low enough to get under most lowered cars. The jack is heavy, but if you're like me and only leave it in your garage, weight isn't a factor. Its also got a very high lift, which is nice for doing transmissions.
