Get a jack that will lift higher, or place your jack on a 2x10 lying flat on the floor and that will give you another 1 and a half inches higher. or get a set of Rhino Ramps. Never take the saddles off the stands.

Not a great idea. Those saddles help the car to stay in place should there be some movement of the car on the stands. Try driving up on a "2-by" board first. That will give you 1.5 inches more to work with.

I don't think driving the car onto the wood will help your problem.

not unless you next put a plank under the jack to give it extra lift height as well.....
