My car’s owners manual only lists the 4 pinch welds next to the tires as lift points. No front or back lift points are mentioned.
How can I get the car on 4 jack stands?
If I place my floor jack on the front-left pinch weld to lift the car, there is not enough room for me to place a jack stand at that location anymore. The floor jack gets in the way.
However, I recently found a very interesting video by Home Depot that demonstrates just this.

Is this the way everyone has been doing it? My floor jack is pretty wide at the bottom and doesn’t allow me to place a jack stand that close to it. Do I just need different equipment?
How wide are those pinch welds?
Ooooooh. The answer is a U Jack. Example: https://www.powerbuilt.com/products/2-ton-u-jack-floor-jack
This lets you lift the car with the floor jack. Then, slide a jack stand under the floor jack lift point. Then, remove the floor jack.
