I usually just put a 2x4 on the floor and drive the car over. It raise the car high enough for my jack to go under.

I use two floor jacks. Both are low profile, but not low enough to access central points, so I just use one to jack up the side first. 2x4s work too.

If you want one for really low cars, get the Omega Low-profile.

I use this jack, it's low position is 2.75" up to 20". It's made by American Forge and Foundry.

When I lowered my Z06 even with my low-profile racing jack I had to roll it onto 1x4's in a staggered stack.

I'm not lowered but with my Airwalker side skirts I have trouble with most jacks and still need 2x4s.

My S is slammed about 2 inches+ all around and we use the Snap-On Blue Point jack with no issues.

I even got a flat tire the other day and had to put the dinky little spare on there(my wheels are 18") and i only had to lift up on the rear quarter panel a little bit to slide it under there WITH the spare on.

Really good jack IMO, I've had a lot and this one seems to get every job done that i need it for

From here, but you might find a better deal if you search online. This is a well made jack rated at 2 tons max.
