Talking Jack Stands

Hey, my non truck....and I am kind of clueless..so...

Jack Stand users......

Please post a detailed, safe methodology on how to properly use JACK STANDS.

Several have asked.
I used ramps to work on my truck, and honestly dont know what the "safest" way to prop up my car.

I have 4.

2 at a time? I dont imagine its too safe on all four at once...

Any help is obviously appreciated.
Later =)

well, 4 should be ok... if its on flat ground, all at the same level, but Im not sure Id stick my head under there. one difference between truck and a Z is that if it falls, in the truck you just dont have room to work, in the Z, your dead.

however in 3 days Im gonna have mine up on all 4, but I wont be getting anywhere near under the car, Im just pulling off the tires. to get the TPM out.

when you get the car up on jack stands, it's probably a good idea to give it a good shove from several directions to make certain the car is stable...before you get under the car.
