Jacking procedure
When working on the back end I almost always put jackstands on the rear kick ups and none on the front as seen in the photo. However I've noticed that the front is lifting up as well as can be seen on the front wheel well space between the front fender and tire. It doesn't budge when I push on it but the front feels a little light I can lift it up a bit from the front bumper. I would put 2 jackstands on the front and lift the whole car up but the floor is dirt and gravel and is not level. I'm just wondering if there is a risk of the car pitching with this method?? Is it safe 100%. I love working on the car but i'd prefer not to have a crushing experience.
By the way those 6 ton jackstands are great if floor isn't very level.
Thanks to all.

I would almost suggest that one side may have worn out front springs or shocks and that might account for the listing when some of the sprung weight is lifted.
