Build up a base of 2x4s covered, screwed and glued with 3/4" exterior ply to allow the shortest amount of the stand to be raised.

When raising up the rear of my car I used 2 sets to get the height I wanted with the stand raised the least.

I jacked up one side put in the stand. jacked up the other side higher and placed the wood under the jack stand and repeated the process until two sets of wood and one stand were on each side. I also safety wired the flip up handle down so as not to snag it on anything.

Sorry I did not take pictures. I had 3/4 inch ply, three 2x4s side by side and another piece of ply to make a 2x4 sandwich. (you could also use 2x 6's depending on what is at hand)
