Front jacking point - cross-member

Question: to reach the front cross-member jack point, do you guys slide the jack in from the front, or the side? I didn't realize how far back the cross-member is on this car, jacking from the front seems impossible even with a low profile aluminum jack.

side. or get ramps or even some 2x4's to lift the car up to make jacking easier.

front, it just fits. got to do a bunch of really small pumps till it starts giving you some more space. did the 2x4s once it helped but wasnt worth the pita. (fyi my car is stock height any lowering and my jack wouldnt fit from the front)
