Yes you can leave the front tires on the ground.
Yes you are crazy to use a scissors jack for anything other than to change a tire in an emergency.

Get the proper tools - jackstands and a floor jack. Throw the wood blocks under there too as a back-up after it is properly supported on stands.

I had a unproperly supported 745 come down on me. I had a cut from the rocker panel pinch weld on my chest. I'll never try a shortcut under a car again.
