Default Damnit! - another stupid jack question - need help

I received my Northern Tool cross beam adapter from Northern Tool and this:

http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/w...6598_200326598

The woman assured me it would work with the cross beam adapter - it does not puta

And I can't find a jack that works with the cross beam adapter without some stupid modification necessary that I don't want to deal with

I'm about ready to just say f' it and put a 2x4 on the plate.

Where can I get a jack that works with the cross beam adapter without modification.?

The cross beam works great without modification on my 3 ton Sears Craftsman jack. I need to get the car up a little before using this jack in the rear, but I also have a racing jack for that purpose. Using the racing jack, I jack up each side with the pucks, slide 2 2X6's under each wheel, then use the racing jack in the front with a 24" 2X4 and the Sears jack with the cross beam in the back.
