Default Need to jack up my car?

Ok so I lowered my car bit, alright i confess its slammed, but the problem is I cant even get a scissor jack under it any more. Drive up ramps are a complete joke as well. I cant even get on a lift anymore . Is there anything I can do or am I just screwed.

take your front bumper off, then drive up on some blocks.. you can make the blocks like stairs if needed.. the you should be able to do it. then make sure to raise the car to a good ride/service height.

drive onto wooden blocks until the floor jack can fit under there with no problems

I'll try that but I still dont think it will clear, I mean I've ripped off my bumper 4 time in the last 6 months from it hitting the road. lol Initially it was fine but it settled like 2 inches lower than I had it set at.
