Low Profile Jack?

How do you guys jack up your cars? The jacks I have are all too high and I have to drive my car up on a piece of wood in order to get the jack to fit. Does anyone here use a low profile jack?

All I do is pick up my car and push the jack under it at the same time..If you pick up on the fenderwells you can usually get under there pretty easily. That is with a standard jack from craftsman. My buddy has a low profile jack that works great. If you want to spend some money, mac tools has a really low profile steel jack that is around 350 bucks..
