Be very careful and patient and go up a little at a time and use 3 ton (smaller) jack stands. I unfortunately found out the hard way by trying to use 6 ton (higher) stands. Jacked the car up and because of its stiffness three wheels came off the ground, couldn't get the jack stand under quick enough and the swivel head on the jack rotated and car fell off the jack and went through the passenger floor. Luckily its easily fixable and did no damage to the body. Now, I go up in steps from all four corners.
