Be aware that if you run the engine in gear on the jackstands, you may experience some vibration due to the rear wheels turning - something I would advise against.... Make sure you are at low revs and in neutral.
Yes, front and rear. I'm only trying to warm up the water in the cooling circuit, so I would only run it at idle and definitely not in gear.
