Thanks guys,
I went over to my folks house as he has some spare boards and such. I ended up driving up on 2x4's high enough to get a smaller jack underneath and get some pumps going. Finally got the front on Jack stands. Then i used my new jack to get the rear higher on jack stands.
Next came a new PITA, the drain plug!!
This thing must have been loc-tited on or something!! 20mins of fighting that thing a got it broke loose. Replaced it with a magnetic tip plug.
Now that I have my first one under my belt, i'll know what to expect on the next one and it shouldn't take as long.
