Default work under car

What is a good way to get under a mustang? (01 GT) the car is completely stock and i have scrap lumber,2 jack stands,2 floor jacks, and big ramps that would not allow for clearance on their own.

Thanks

jack the rear up under the differential with the floor jack and put the jacks under each side of the drive axle.

I hafta drive up onto 2 block with the front, then place 2 ramps under the front tires, then drive onto ramps, then use jackstands to secure front, jack the rear up, place more jackstands, then jack the front up to remove ramps and reposition jackstands.... OR goto my buddies shop and use their drive on alignment machine=P it's a drive on lift with an extra lift attached to the center to raise the tires off the lift^^

Go down to Autozone or Advance Auto and get a set of Blitz ramps. They're about 30-40 bucks and their grade is low enough that I can drive my stock suspension up it just fine and I have pleanty of clearance to change oil and such.
