DatsunMike gave me a tip so good I just had to share it with the list. 

I lowered my car and have a CDM/BRE airdam, and can't get the floorjack 
underneath. And I can't use this scissors jack because I can't spin the 
handle under the car. So I'm taking chances, driving around without a jack 
or spare tire.

His idea is so simple that I feel stupid not thinking of it.
