I've often seen pictures posted by CZCC members where their Z is perched up on axle stands, front and rear. Getting a car up on stands at either the front or the rear is easy. I'm curious to know what the accepted wisdom is for getting the other end elevated and then getting the stands extended to full lift. Can it be done safely in one step, or is it better to start with the axle stands at minimum extension and then go back and forth in steps from front to rear until both ends are up all the way (i.e. the axle stands at maximum extension)?

Good topic. My thinking is that it's better to go in a few incremental steps, going front to back. This method minimizes subjecting the jack stands to axial (horizontal) loads. The rating on jack stands in only for pure vertical loads.

It is safer to go back and forth; setting one end low before jacking the other end high and going back to raise the lower.

Does anyone know of / recommend stands that support the car on the lug studs with the wheels off?

Pretty cool. A bit pricey
