just drive it up on some wood, every shop i've been to with my Z has had some wood lying around, it raises the car about 2-3" which is enough clearance for the lift...i've also built stepping ramps out of wood to raise the front a good 8" and im going to build another set in the rear, its somewhere in the FAQ as to how to build it but 2x10" is all you need (and wood screws)
