Most low profile jacks I've seen lift about 15" max, but the CDN Tire has a low profile Michelin jack which can lift 24". The kicker is that it costs $300.
Michelin 2 Ton Low Profile High Lift Service Jack | Canadian Tire

I gave up doing my own oil changes on my EF when I switched over to a B18 (lower oil filter position). With the tools I have on hand (low-pro jack and jack stands), there isn't enough clearance to torque off the oil filter. My elbow was on the floor and I could still touch the oil filter.

I felt like a T-Rex trying to open a jar of pickles, it just wasn't going to happen.
