Default Floor Jack for lowered Stangs?

Any good recommendations? Its a bit of a pain to drive to the lift every time I need to get underneath the car. I can use some floorjacks but its a pain to get them in and out sometimes. I'm running Eibach pro-kit springs so my car isn't slammed but its a tight squeeze underneath.

CAP (ConsumerAutoParts) has their low-rider floor jack on sale it seems every month. I haven't bought it yet as mine just sneaks under ok (lowered rear only); I forget the lowest height of this one but it was 2+ inches as I recall and price was just as low :-)

I usually put two small blocks of wood in front of the tires and drive up onto them. This will raise the car up enough to get the floor jack underneith it.

I usually go to my on-base auto hobby shop.
