If you are going to work on the brakes then I always put the floor jack
under the A arms right were the bottom of the shock comes through. That
lifts the car with very little effort. In the back I always use jacks
stands on either side of the diff. I put the floor jack under the diff.
and jack it up high enough to put in the jack stands on either side. If
you are going to work on something under the car like the oil pan ect. then
I always use ramps in the front and jack stands in the back. I don't trust
jack stands all the way around myself. Hope this helps Regards Armand
