hey all, i'm gonna start work on the rear TABs and springs and shocks tuesday i think, and i'd like to have this done in one day (ok we'll see about that), here's what i want to know because i'm a very amateur mechanic:

should I jack the car up from the rear end only and have the front wheels stay on the ground, and just have 'em properly blocked, or should the whole car be up in the air?

the thing is that there's a serious deficit in jack stands in my community so I need to know this in advance. as it is i have only one jack stand and about three useable hunks of large wooden block which should do the trick (for jacking; i can block the front wheels with cinderblocks and other heavier stuff), i want the jackstand for the rear axle. all of this will proudly be done with my stock scissor jack. does anyone here think i'm crazy? i just want to be safe, first and foremost. i'd rather drive with the saggy rear end then have my face be reduced in volume by a large heavy greasy muddy rusty factor. just let me know if i should go out and score some jack stands. thanks!
