I also use the method of placing the jackstands under the crossmembers. This way, there is no need for jacking pucks.

I place jack stands under the crossmembers. I use a floor jack to get the car up high enough to slide the stand to the right location.

Right, as long as you don't take it to a dealer. Then be prepared. Some of them don't use pucks either.
