CT5 Blackwing - Lifting onto jackstands

- I placed the front of my 5BW on my Daytona 3 ton jackstands for a 1,500 mile oil change.
My Quickjacks are too short to work, and even with extensions they are too short. To add to the difficulty, the front jacking points are where I prefer to put my jackstands. There is no front center lift point either.
I chose to lift at the rear jack point using a Daytona 3 ton (low profile extra reach) jack and my Quickjack pinchweld lifting blocks. When lifting at the rear, the front of the same side lifts as well. This allowed me to place stands in front with 3 points of contact on the vehicle (jack and passenger side tires).
When on the passenger side and lifting from the rear, I wound up with (barely) three points of contact (jack, drivers side jackstand, and passenger tire). I'm not crazy about it, but it worked.
In the future I think I will get some platform style jackstands, lift from the front jack points, and place stands on the vehicle somewhere up front. I haven't figured out where, but I have time to think it over.
Please use wheel chocks when lifting, I know that I didn't, but I was curious to see how the car would behave so I lifted without them.
Looks like you mis-edited the last part of the video where you got both jackstands up front. It looped back to the first 'aftermath' rather than showing the front of the car on 2 jackstands.
