Lift the jack over the 2 x 2 and place on the 6 x 2. If that wouldn't give you enough height, use 6 x 3 or 6 x 4 if you have enough height under the rear of the car. By careful positioning under the jacking point, this worked for me. Can't pic at the mo as the kit is under a load of rubbish!
Rigged something up earlier in the garage out of old bits of wood etc. Presumably the sills are strong either side of the jacking point with a spread load, not just on the jacking point? Not tested it yet...
