I see you are already using wood planks to raise the height.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hey guys trying to do my IMS dropping tranny and really struggling to get the car up high enough, my tranny jack is about 6" tall lowest and the tranny looks about 16" on the flywheel end?
So I need about 20" clearance I think I'm at 17.5" now but really struggling to get higher, having to add blocks and chocks on all my jacks and stands to get it up.
Any ideas?
go to harbor freight and buy these cheap jacks , they go up to 23"

Hunt around a little for a coupon on that HF jack ... they usually have deals going on one jack or another. I have two of the 3-ton low-profile jacks that I got a few years back for $59 each. IMO, a no-brainer at that price. I think the current coupon price is usually $79, which is still pretty good. They usually have coupons on the jack stands, also.
I'm glad you got your transmission out. Now, before you get back under there to change the IMSB please add some more jack stands. Also, replace that scissors jack. That is not stable.
If you were my son I would beat your *** for going under something so dangerous!

If you use 6T jack stands, they extend much higher and are MUCH more stable as the base is twice the footprint. I just picked up a quartet myself after seeing them in action.
Thanks for the advice guys, I put an extra jack stand under the engine too on wood as a backup, also have the transmission still under the car but off to one side, if anything happened it would rest the suspension on the tranny
