Yes, always support the car with jack stands if you are going to lift up the car. I took his question has to how high the car needs to go in order to be able to take the tires off the car and I think 19" lift height should do it. I'd also recommend a pair of wheel chocks for the wheels that aren't lifted up.

I disagree. From where will come the force parallel to the floor? Inadvertency, one might say, but as likely to overcome the chock resistance.

In any case, if the wheels are chocked, then four must be used - left and right, fore and aft.
