John:
I have a large floor jack that I bought at K-Mart years ago that will lift
a bus (or nearly so). I lift each end of the car in turn and place the
stands under the frame rails carefully. If your stands are a bit wimpy,
throw them out and get a set of 4 with wide "footprints" for stability and
a 1 ton capacity at least. You may now work in safety. I lift my car by the
front crossmember and the diff, even though you aren't supposed to; never
had a problem.
