hydraulic floor jack

Just got one of those hydraulic motorcycle floor jacks to be able to pick up my GZ250, for oil changes/wheels/tires/chain work etc.
Question - the bottom of the GZ250 has the exhaust pipes lower than the frame. It doesn't seem like a good idea to jack it up on the pipes even though they might be strong enough to support the weight, so other than putting some blocks of 2x4 under the frame between the pipes as a shim above the jack arms, does anyone have any other methods they use?
