get a 2by4 drive over it with the appropriate tire and side and slide ur jack under....if ur car is super low you may want to double up on the 2by4 by nailing 1 block on top of the other in a stairway manner then driving up on it. (this is what I did for my slammed integra I had back in the day) example below.

If you jack it up and put it on stands you'll be OK. Also remember to chock in front and behind one of the front wheels.
