I do anything, I side jack, it's just too easy. I might get around to building proper ramps one of these days, but I usually have wheels off for one thing or another. Such as, when doing a deep clean, I remove the wheels and clean separately.
Some folks think the side method may cause the rocker panels damage as sometimes the edge of the rockers hang a little below the pinch weld. My opinion, trim the rockers if it's a concern.
SECRET ITEM: Hockey Puck
Pucks don't slide around like wood might (on a bad day). Been using mine for four years.

I just ordered a 5K lb QuickJack to avoid this. I came into some extra money and just seemed like a logical investment.

I lift the front up by using a low profile jack. Under the k member, or whatever that thing is called.
I don't like lifting here. But if your are going to place a jack stand(s) for the rear, you have to lift there.
