I'm with you all on the schrader valves. That is a really good idea long term. I did end up figuring something out. I was able to slide the jack in between the rear wheel and the wheel well, and jacked up the pumpkin. Put two jack stands under the rear axles. Then moved as far forward on the frame on either side with jacks and got some height, and put jack stands under the frame as well, 2 on each side. Then went and put the floor jack under the front crossmember. Was a PIA, but it worked. Thanks for all the suggestions. Just have to make sure this doesn't happen again.
