Drive up on some short 2x4's in front of each wheel. This raises it up enough to get a jack under there. Or, you can use 2 2x4's in front of the front wheels before running up on the ramps. This gives me the clearance I need.

Lot of guys use Rhino ramps, but they make a pre-ramp that allows the car to go up more gradually preventing the front chin spoiler from getting mashed.

I used made some ramps using these plans http://www.mustangworld.com/ourpics/News/mwramps/index.htm

They work great. I have room to crawl under the car and change the oil. I feel safe with these because they are solid.

Mine is lowered 1" and I can get a jack under the k-member and slowly jack it up to place jackstands under the front. On the rear I put it under the gear housing with a piece of wood between the jack to keep it from being metal on metal. This should keep it from getting damaged and causing a leak.
