Depends where you're trying to lift from. With the standard jack, I lift from under the U-Bolt plate on the rear axle and under the control arm at the front.

sounds like your lifting it off the chassis like you would with a normal car, which means you have to lift through the wheel down travel which will give u the problem your having, as said above lift off the axle at the rear and lower control arm at the front and it has plenty enough lift to get the wheel off the ground

Is the jack from another vehicle?
I always try to jack from the lowest point, that way there is less winding and also reduces the risk of the jack tipping over the higher it goes.
If you jack it up from the chassis, then you have to also lift the suspension flex before the tyre lifts off the ground.

Standard practice at work and myself, is to carry a good sized lump of hardwood say 6"x4"x12" to act as a booster if needed for extra height/stable base in the field.
Always helps too to keep another piece of hardwood for a wheel chock while lifting the vehicle for tyre changes etc.
Both bits of wood fit into a good sized toolbox with basic tools and cloth tape and zipties - or under the back seat.
