I had the same problem with mine !!!! To get the jack under i had lift the car up while i got the misses to place the jack......

Just get a couple of pieces of wood and drive onto those first. This should lift the car enough to get the jack under.

I can't jack mine on the front subframe, as the sumpguard gets in the way. I can get a jack on the front chassis rails (under the front foot wells) though. I have two jacks and lift each side a little at a time until I can get the axle stands under.

same thing on my cab, i use one jack to lift the car slightly on a little bit that sticks out on the sill near the jacking point and this gives me enough room to get another jack onto the jacking point
