I use the side to side method with a floor jack. However, I have wooden
blocks which are not quite as high as my floor jacks to ensure a more
gradual "bending" of the chassis as it goes up on the stands. It takes
me 4 times (2 each side) to get the rear on the stands. The front I just
use the frame cross member in the middle.
Sorry can't help with your other question.
