I know that I am not dropped as far as you are and the TTE lip is not that aggressive, but I cannot get my 3.5 ton jack to fit the front. I am sure the 2.25 ton jack may fit but I just like the extra security of a larger jack. Unless I am doing something in the middle of the car, I leave the jack there in addition to the jack stands (also 3 ton variety).

What I do is take the stock jack to lift up the car 4 inches from the front tow hook.
Then I take my 2 ton floor jack that I bought from Autozone and put it under my sideskirt & proceed to jack it up.
The jack was like 30.00 with 2 jack stands and a creeper.

i just jack up the car from two sides, right behind the front wheel. that's a lot easier
