jacking up a somewhat high f150

When Ive changed my brakes before ive had access to a shop with a lift. Put the truck on it lift it up and im ready to go. Anyways im gone for college and need to change my brakes. The problem is I have a 99 f150 w/ 3.5" suspension and 3" body lift on 35s and cant find a jack big enough to lift it from somewhere decent. So I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions. The tallest jack I could find was 22" still about 2" too short of touching the frame plus height needed for lifting it up.

Find Something very strong and sturdy to place the jack on.

A couple 4x4's sitting on 2x8's would work. But dont set the jack wheels on the boards, as they will probably roll off...
