What I use,
Trolley jack with lifting Puck
4 axle stands
2 rubber wheel chocks
Before starting.
Always jack up on a flat ideally level ish surface, with the car in gear and the handbrake on.
Jack up the front one side first, placing the trolley jack on the chassis rail, get it high enough to where you want it to work on the car, then place an axle stand infront of the jack on the same support.
Repeat this process whilst watching the stand you have just put in.
Once the front is up in the air on stands head round the back and put the jack under the rear diff housing/ subframe or if 2wd on the centre of the axle, watch out for brake pipes and cabling,
Lift slowly whilst keeping an eye on the 2 stands you have put in at the front.
When you have got the car up in the air at the back to a roughly level height put your 2 axle stands onto the circular lifting points just in front of the rear wheels.
Then slowly lower the jack down until the weight of the car is on the stands then double check all 4 stands are supporting the car, are firmly on the ground and not tipping.
Then you are complete to work on the car,
To lower the car back on the wheels just do the whole process in reverse, always keeping an eye on the stands whilst doing anything. Keep the wheel chocks near the rear wheels when lowering down and when on the ground put them under before lowering the front. Always check the car is in gear with the handbrake on before lowering completely
