lol, look at the size of your jack you are using. of course it wont fit even if you ran over some wood.

jack up your car using oem (scissor ) jacks. then from there, use that big truck jack you got in the pic.

Lol put that jack in the garage until you need it to lift your truck. Buy a low profile jack. My buddy zacks is 3 ton and only 2 1/4" in height

If not then just get your scissor jack and use that to jack the car up until your main jack fits.

Lmao. Insane, this is where common sense comes in.

Comparable to this.

"I'm taking a dump and I'm out of toilet paper, help me CL! What do I do???"

If you couldn't figure this out... I wish you the best of luck in your life. You're going to need it.

Learn how to jack a lowered car dude. Jack it from the tow hooks or the diff, use more wood, smaller jack, stock jack, etc.

Low profile jack is you best bet. Yeah they are a tad more expensive, but they are worth the investment. I was slammed for a while and had to use the low profile jack on the tow hook , so that I could get my other jack or some bricks under the car.
