I made a cheap lift from salvaged engineered floor joists based on a design that I first saw in Red Barchetta's gallery several years ago. It solved my problem of getting under the car to work on it. Check out the photos in my gallery. When I want to simply use my floor jack, like others have mentioned, I simply drive on pieces of 2x10's. It gets me high enough to get my Harbor Freight jack under the car to insert jack stands.
