put jackstands under as high as they can go. Then lower the jack and add some wood on the jack so it will lift the car higher.

Be carefull, one big block is safer than a bunch of 2x4's. The more spacers you add, the less safe it is. Jackstands are key :thumb:

once I got my motor down low enough, i sat it on the ground and dragged it out.
