i would look at getting a highlift jack or somthing similer. if thats not your style look at fleetfarm or tractor supply they have bulldog (i think thats the name) jacks for semi's and that should fix your problem

Your jack should reach your rear axle....mine does and I have 35's too. For the front, I use the lower control arms to lift it then put jacks under the frame rails.
