I use a quickjack FWIW. It costs a bit but if you work on your cars a lot it is worth the time and safety.

I use front position jack, then place Rhino stands under the wheels. I am super paranoid about getting under cars. To remove wheels, use front position and then place jack stands under side lift points. Always use a wheel chock.

What kind of jack do you have that allows you access to the front center jackpoint? I’ve been wondering if the harbor freight low profile long reach Daytona will reach. Driving up on low profile Race Ramps can also make the whole process easier.

I do have a Quickjack and it has its benefits. The major issue I’ve found is that the individual frames (and the hydraulic pump, actually) are just really heavy to drag around.
