Not only are most regular jacks incapable of lifting the car high enough in a safe way for axle stands, there appears to be little consensus as to exactly where to place the stands once the car is lifted, always use a solid flat piece of wood on top of the lifting cup to give good grip as well as to even out the force, and use a good quality semi pro jack at least a 2 ton one, 2,5 to 3 is better, remember our cars a heavy.
