Need help Servicing my Truck

Hi, im new here,i just got my L two days ago. This is my first post here on F150online. Ok, I am having a problem jacking my truck up. The front is lowered 3inches and the jack we have does not reach far enough. Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can get this truck jacked up. BTW, i already bought the Rhino Ramps and there is not enough ground clearence by like 1/4 inch. Thanks For ur input.

You can use the ramps, just have to use a couple pieces of 2x6 or whatever should provide clearance.

Drive your truck up on to some scrap pieces of 2" x 6" to get it higher off the ground, then jack it up
