Check out Home Depot's scrap wood pile over by the cutter. You can probably find some 1xwhatever or 2xwhatever for about $2 and use a couple of those to drive up on for the extra jack clearance. Way easier than using two jacks, and way cheaper than buying the lowered car ramps.

ditto.

I'm lowered roughly 4.5 inches, I need at least two 2x4's and a low-pro jack to reach my front jacking point.

Just get some wood!

Got a notice from my bank that the Harbor Freight CC records were compromised back in July.
Had to cancel my card. Just got the new card on Friday. A week to 10 days without a CC was a bit of a crimp.

I bought the 1.5 ton HF jack and couldn't lift the car high enough to put it on jack stands. Anyone else with this issue?

Ouch! I have the same jack with no issues so far. However, on previous cars, I used block of wood(s) on top of the jack's mounting point.

Also, stay the hell away from Craftsman. The jacks are junk. If you aren't convinced, read the reviews on Sears. Must be embarrassing to get blown away by HF like that.

I have a craftsman I was given 15ish years ago. It never held pressure to start with and right now it won't hold pressure long enough to get jack stands under the car. Just ordered the HF jack.

Same thing happened to me, except my bank wouldn't tell me who the vendor that was compromised was. I wonder if it was them. Still waiting for a new card.
