Hydraulic jacks and jackstands?
I did a search and found plenty of information on how to jack the car up and then place jackstands underneath to raise either both front wheels or back wheels at the same time. Only problem is all the pictures in the post are gone. Anyone have any to show where to place the jackstands? Thanks!

For the front wheels...
(Read the linked post first...)
The rails seem kind of soft ... I think I ended up using two hydraulic jacks, and leaving the jackstands under the rails (lightly touching) as a failsafe (apparently, hydraulic failure isn't uncommon).
Depending on what you're doing, you may be able to put the stands under the control arms (don't know for certain) ... try a search with "control arm" in the keywords.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/533369.phtml">link w/ pic</a></li></ul>
