Why not use your heavy duty jack at one jack point and your factory jack at
the other?

Subject: Floor jack placement for tire rotation

This weekend I'd like to rotate my tires along the side of the bus.  I have
a heavy duty floor jack.  Is there a preferred place to place the jack so
that the car body can both take the weight and also ideally take both wheels
off the ground at once for the switch?  The car is clean of rust so no
unexpected weak points.
