Get a stock jack under the car and lower it that way...
you know the little black one that comes with your car, should work. Did for mine.

how about this, get some pieces of wood and drive up onto them, thats how we do it, you can double the wood up to if your cars too low in the front, but i dont think anybodys car is lower than scotts and one piece of wood under his front wheels is enough to get an actual hydraulic lift arm underneath, for the back we just jack up on the tow hook, and your straight.........

Also the ground controls are at most 339 and they are about the best out there unless u go for full koni coliver designed shock setup.... FORGOT the ground control ones will also drop to down 4 inch inchs if u want ....www.ground-control.com

i can barely get a 2x4 under the front lip, so i have to drive up on one set up 2x4s, and then have a stack of 2 more 2x4s in front of that. if i don't have anything to pull up on, i'll find somewhere under neath the front of the car, and jack it up w/ the stock jack, untill i can get a real jack under there.
