I can't remember the specific thread this was described, but I followed the following steps:

Materials:
1. ESCO flat top jackstands x 4
2. Costco Arcan 3.5 ton low profile jack
3. Burger motorsports jack stand adapter

Method:
1. Jack up using front side jack point and adapter
2. Put jackstand under rear jack point
3. Jack up the other front side using adapter
4. Jackstand under other rear jack point
5. Jack up using front center jack point
6. Jackstands under both front jack points

Took even a jack-iss like me only about 5-10 minutes to do the whole thing. To get the car down, just reverse the procedure.
How do you keep the jackstand from crushing or breaking the plastic jacking point? Is the pad on top of the jackstand enough?
