Ya . . . don't skimp on your jack stands. 



Sometimes, I'll leave the back tires on and use them as a stand for the rear. (It just depends on how many stand I have available too.) I'll then put a set of stands as close to the back side of front suspension as I can . Then I'll put another set on the front side, closer to the bumper.
Similiar to the pic below, but I'm move the middle stands closer to the front to support the heavier weight from the engine.
