lifting car with jack question

Hi, I used to use ramps but I think jack will save more time.

Is this the correct procedure?

1. lift one side with jack then support car with a stand
2. repeat on the other side.

Thanks.

On the front, a lil bit right in the middle under the engine cover is a jack point.
U can't miss it.

They say it's bad to jack on the rear differential , but I use a jack there and put jackstands on the factory jacking points.

I agree with chefwong, I just jack up front the center and then put jack stand on either side. I've had no problems with jacking from the diff.
