Thats what the make low profile jacks for or jacks with a duck bill attachment to slide under the car

Low profile ones aren't as sturdy, they're more expensive, and they don't have the lifting range for big cars.

Yes, because a piece of wood is going to hold up that 1 ton car just fine when a low profile jack rated to 2 tons won't.

Yes, a 2x4 under my wheels will hold my car just fine for the five minutes it takes to get the jack under the car and lift it off the wood. My car weighs 2400 lbs.
