For a rear tire, you could use the trailer hitch and lift both tires...

The stock jack and a piece of wood seem like a better solution for the original poster.
I've tried that when I first got my hilift, very unstable and I highly discourage it.

Even though i sometimes do crazy things with a floor jack, i wouldn't recommend using a Hi-Lift like that on the trail...especially to someone thats never used one.

Rocket,
I have actually added "The 3rd Gen Suspension" by Bamachem Downey rear spring version. So I'm up about 2" now. Most wheeling is moderate at best, currently.
Thank you everyone for all your suggestions so far.
