Jack/ jack stand procedure for lifting whole car

I either do side to side or front first then back. I never do back first because there is more clearance in the back. If you jack the back up

I either do side to side or front first then back. I never do back first because there is more clearance in the back. If you jack the back up first, the front end will point down even lower and make it harder to maneuver the jack under the car. I prefer to jack the front up just enough to get the jack stand under the car and in position (both sides). Then lift the back as high as I can get it and put the jack stands under the car. I then go around to the front and lift the front again to even it out with the back and raise the jack stands to match the back ones. I leave the E-break on when I jack the car up. Don't jack the car up on inclines or declines, flat surfaces only!

Happy wrenching my friend
