at the same time? Like lift both fronts at the same time or both rears at the same time?

Re: My floor jack has groves in the lifting cup. I posistion those on the pinch weld where the stock
are the grooves deep enough for the lifting cup to go around the pinch weld? What jack do you have? Where'd you get it?

I'm not sure of the brand I'll have to look when I get home. It's old though. As for the cup...
The groves are deep enough to fit the pinch weld nicely. At least good enough that I trust my head under there when I change the oil. :-)

Also, how do you place jack stands for the floor jack...
If there is only the pinch weld to lift? As sturdy as floor jacks are, I'd still feel more comfortable with a real jack stand if I'm going to be crawling under my car...
