Default How do you jack your car? *not stupid*

How do you raise your car? Seriously I really dont know what I can do

I have a jack that needs 5 1/2 inches clearnace to get under my bumper,
PROBLEM

My cars front is 2 inches off of the ground because it is lowerred right to the wheel and the right wheels are flat (thats why I need to jack) but I cant think of a way that I can jack up my car?? How do you guys jack up your slammed cars?
Kinda pissing me off

Hack it up one side at a time by the subframe where the lower control arms mount on the SIDE of the car, jsut behind the front wheels. It's usually at least 4 inches off the ground.

OR

Get a floorhugger jack.

or you can jus put a small 2X4 in front of both front tires and drive up on it. if not high enough, then put a another small piece of wood on it(like a 1X). i am lucky, all i need is a little bit, so i jus raise lift the car by the fender and have someone slide the jack under

use the wood trick. get some of your friends to help you push it up onto the wood. if you dont have any friends, ask your parents.
