Clearance Issues with swaybar and floorjack

I debated on whether to put this in the suspension section or here, however, I am trying to lift my car by the pumpkin (housing not the carrier) and my saddle will not make contact before the arm of the jack hits the sway bar. This is not a good thing...how have people got around this? I need my suspension to stay loaded so I can fabricate my TDs and maximize clearance. Any ideas other than putting a 4x4 under there?

I've used a 4x4 for as long as I can remember when trying to jack the car up by the pumpkin.

X2. Once I got my Moser 12 bolt in and Spohn rear sway bar, I've had to use a 4 X 4 ever since. Still very solid, but the bottom of my 12 bolt has a nice flat spot.
