Q: Jacking / Jackstand Procedure

Alright, the time has come where I need to bring my car up off it's tires to install some swaybars (2nd Gen)

I've put my friends 70 Charger up on jackstands before but that's somewhat of a different animal (frame rails and a rear axle).

With the FC having independent rear suspension, what is the best method to get the car up on 4 jackstands?

I've also heard that if the type of stands being used don't have a huge valley in the top of the stand you should use the pinch weld that runs the length of the rockers underneath to lay the body onto each of the stands. Is this accurate?

Finally, if I've got the front of the car on stands, can i jack it up by the diff housing to lift both of the rear wheels at the same time?

Thanks.

jack the front by the engine cradle and put the two front stands under the "rails" beside the cradle, then jack the back up by the pumpkin and put the stands under the rear hubs at each wheel

its pretty straight forward once stick your head under the car
