Get a more serious jack, then you can jack from the center points and put the jack stands on the side points.

That's what I do, the car sits on 6 ton stands with rubber boots on the ends that hold the pinch welds. Thing doesn't move, at all, and the bottom of the car is a good 16-18 inches off the ground. Far enough up for me to use a creeper without issue.
