I use an aluminum racing jack with a hockey puck (1/4" slit cut down the middle) on the pinch weld placed at the front notch cut out for the supplied jack. This way I am able to lift one side completely to place two jack stands on the inside of the pinch weld. There's enough room in front that the jack stand and floor jack clear each other. Then repeat on the other side.

I have a inch weld adapter for my heavy duty jack, but that jack won't fit underneath the Z, and the adapter won't work with the racing jack. Decided to try a hockey puck after reading a few posts about it, and it works great. It's a cheap $1 "adapter", unless you live in Hawaii, Guam or Puerto Rico.

Also, never ever ever get under your car with it just supported by a floor jack.
