Several things I could do to correct the situation
- get a floor jack that could lift higher
- get stands that are smaller (I have tall stands)
- find a thicker block of wood to place between the jack and frame (could be unsafe)
I think I'd try a thicker block of wood next time.
As for sliding the jack under the center jack points, mine doesn't fit either in its resting position. I had to pump and hold the handle all the way down for the jack to clear the front lip. Even in this position I probably had like 1/2" to 1" of space between the jack and the front lip. This is probably why I wont buy a larger floor jack.
If my car was lowered I'm afraid I'd have to buy one of those long flat jacks to lift it.
