I mostly did it the way Paul describes, except that once the front stands were under it, I'd switch the jack to the rear center point (under the tranny link) and lift it, then place stands under the rear jack points.

Related... If you haven't gotten a good set of jackstands, Esco makes a really nice flat top stand. Spendy, but an investment in your tools.

I got a pair for xmas from the Mrs. and they work really well : ESCO Flat-top Jackstands

She got them on a sale $50, so keep an eye out for specials.

Cheers!
