Also depending on how low your car is you can place a 2x4 piece of wood in front of the tires and slowly drive up onto them , that will give you a little room under your car .

On my friends car we would get the stock jack and crank it up high enough on one side so that we could fit the hydraulic jack under. Im not to hip on lifting the fenders. If your cars so low that you cant get the stock jack under one of the side jacking points then its way too low and you should raise it a bit.

well its gets to about 3 3/4 inches. My jack stands sit at 3.5 so its pretty close. Wood trick works so i'll just do that. Stock honda jack is a real pain in the *** to use when the forks are all bent up from trying to crank to so hard.

you might as well spend the extra $40 to get some decent metal ramps, i did that and i use them all the time now they work wonders if you're doing your own oil changed and dont have use of a lift

Go to the junk yard and get a stock jack. I have the same problem with my hydro jack and the car lift.
