i dont know any other way but on my back lol
what i did was to back the car up on ramps, then jacked it up via the middle of the front sub frame as high up as i could. then put the jack stands under the front rockers. ( mine are solid, no rust) make sure yours are solid before you put a jack stand there.
this gets the whole car off the ground. for a big person like myself i liked the extra room under there.
