Default Oil Pan

AnyOne know the best way to drop the oil pan. I have a oil pan gasket that is leaking and i have all the pan bolts off, filter, and the guard that wedges between the tranny. I have jacked the car up as much as possible and all it really needs is another inch but it wont give. Im considering pulling down the K-member but wanted to see if there are any other solutions. Thanks guys

the way i did it was to put the car on ramps n then lift the engine with a jack i had to take the bolts off the motor mounts so i can get enough lift to take the oil pan out.
