Good way of doing it, Herb, particularly if you have an uneven floor or
unequal height jack stands.
Actually, I always use a small, hardwood block between the car and the jack
stand. It makes slippage of the car off the jack stands much less likely.
That QSW that I mentioned in a previous post as having fallen off the
stands, as I was jacking one side, would not have been able to slip off if
I'd had the hardwood blocks in place.
