I have found that the easiest way is to jack under the trailing arm, right behind the brake drum. This lifts the wheel quite a ways without lifting the body very much so the jack doesn't need as much travel. Lift one side, put in the ramp, do the other side. Be careful not to place the jack such that it will be in the way of the side of the wheel ramp and I use a block of wood between the jack and the trailing arm to keep from gouging through the under coating.
