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.........
