Then use some wood on the jack to get the car higher, and then you should be fine.
Do you have a front valence/air dam that may hit the floor? Then just use a couple of jack stands in the front.
I have no idea why folks insist on removing the rear bumper.

I use a variation on your theme. I put both the front and rear up on ramps, then jack the rear higher with large truck jack stands. It still only gets my rear bumper about 22" up. So I drop my engine (using the Pelican engine cradle on my 3 ton steel floor jack, then take another hefty jack I have and lift the car the final few inches by jacking under the torque tube area of the car. At that point there isn't much weight on the back of the car.
