My rear sits a bit higher than the front. So I jack the rear up a bit then jack the front up on that side. When I lower it the car takes a bit to settle down so I can remove the front jack without needing to keep the rear lifted. I’ve been torn between getting a low profile jack or a quick jack. Either would be nice but I only lift it once or twice a year so the cost is a deterrent.

I drive it on 2 X 6s to raise the front as I can get the back on a jack after the front is on the boards. Not a real problem though. I don't use the pucks though as I us the cross members in the front and the rear. If I have to raise only on side the rear puck is the one I use till i can get under the front.

Using a 2x6 works well to give the car a little more clearance.
