Unhappy floor jack

OK found out that my car with the gfx needs a low profile jack (I wanted to put my O2 sims on). Anyone with a source? I am about an inch short on a standard floor jack. TIA

Try rolling your car up on a couple 2x4 pieces of wood to give you the extra clearance to get the floor jack up under your car.

I use a bottle jack just behind the front tire right where my subframe connector is welded in, I jack it up there and get some room and then put my floorjack under the front.
