Best way to saftely get car higher
I've used 2x4's or 2x6's on the jack numerous times without failure. Be careful using wood UNDER the jack, because then the jack can't roll as it lifts, and you could tip or pull the car if it's already on stands at the opposite side/end to where you're lifting.
I've stacked as many as 4 2x6's to get the car really high (basically, to the limits of my jack-stands) although I try to be extra cautious with that "Jenga" arrangement!!

blow it a nice gentle shotgun. oh, raise it higher you mean. sturdy wood is good. cinder blocks are ok but be careful how you place them . the holes in the cinder block must be verticle NOT horizontal. the structural strenght is designed into the block in that position . when the holes in the block are horizintal when you apply weight to the block they could colapse
I've used the 6x6 posts on more than one occasion. I think they are sturdier and hold the weight better than the CMBs myself. I've done construction and you can stand up 200 sq foot deck on six 6x6s if the side connecting to the house is integrated into the foundation. I would never do that with CMBs
