Or do like me, cut a 45 on some 1x10s, drive up on 'em, then you can probably get most floor jacks under it, or proceed to drive up your low angle ramps after you've pushed the 1x10s across the garage floor a couple times that is 
I just can't justify $400 bucks for a floor jack.

Just use a tape measure to determine the amount of clearance and then go to your local sears store and see which of their floor jacks are within that amount of space.
I have a 7,000 lb floor jack from sears that has a least 1" of clearance under my non lowered 95.
Note that this jack is on sale today along with a pair of 3.5 ton jack stands for less than $120.00 for the package

While that may be true, I haven't had any problems with mine for over a year of constant use with 3 cars. By the way, my Crafsman heavy duty jack also says" Made in China".

Walker used to make one of the best jacks produced. Unfortunately, they are no longer in business. Cheap Chinese products caused far too many American companies out of existence.
My rant is done.
