You need to be extra choosy where you place the stands, if you start to raise one corner a lot more than the others it can get a bit dicey. Some nevers for stand placement include suspension pieces, sway bars, floor pans, oil pan, transmission, you get it, pick a solid spot that will not change any body geometry by using it.
I found it much better (although tedious) to keep working your way around the car raising each front corner a bit at a time and then the rear single point.

PS mid car jack point in rear just ahead of where the braided steel loop of cable resides.
