A couple of things I learned:

You need a really low and long reach shop jack to put the front end on jack stands. The 3.5" clearance jack I just bought doesn't have enough reach to allow me to put the jack under the reinforced pad on the chassis and leave enough room to put the jack stands under the jack points. I was able to, but just barely, fit the jack stands under the reinforced members when I put the shop jack under the jack points. The 19.75" lift height is also at the low end for working under the car on jack stands. To get under the car from the side panels the height of the jack can't be more than 6" at its highest point.
