Stock height? I like to drive one wheel up onto a short piece of 2x12 laid flat. This gives my jack just enough clearance to reach the front garage jack point, which means I can lift the entire front end and place both jack stands on the pinch welds at the same time. For the rear, I use the underside of the differential immediately below the drain plug to lift and place my jack stands again on the pinch welds. In order to have enough clearance for my jack, I typically have to stair step the lift and do the front to an intermediate lift height first, then rear to full height, then front to full height. I always use a hockey puck on the jack stand pad - I cut a slit in one to use at the pinch welds.

On lowered cars, I usually lift each corner individually (front then rear typically). I use the subframe inside the pinch welds to place the jack stand while using the pinch weld to lift. Body kit or exhaust modifications may additionally alter the approach. For example, I have to stack two pucks on the jack stand pad to clear my Fast Intentions exhaust.
