I lift at the jack points and stick a race ramp wheel crib under each wheel. Won’t work for everything but will work for oil change, exhaust, etc.
+1 to Race Ramp cribs. Quicker and safer than most jackstands for all jobs where you are not taking wheels off, even if you just do 2 wheels it's just brain-dead simple. Recommend the stacking 10" cribs.

Reason: typo
I will only be needing the 2 rear wheels to be air born, 1. change oil, 2. replace spark plugs.
I think I got it figured out now, I jack up the front tires until the rear lifts up and that's where I would put the jack stand. Repeat other side and voila 2 rear wheels air born.
The 911 chassis is quite stiff, but I don't know if it's stiff enough to lift the rear when you jack up the front. I've never tried it.
It's easier to raise via the "suspension frame thingy" and place the jackstand under the rear jack point. I've done this several times.
I am looking at doing something similar with pucks, but leaving them in full time via drilling a hole through the puck, and bolting them on. Can anyone think of a reason not to leave them on full time?
Thanks!

OK, clearly I have too much time on my hands.... maybe the more evil voices inside my head are winning the battle.
The Problem: Besides me, how I was raised, and the years of therapy...... I hate centering that darn hockey puck on my jack stand.... finding the jack points under the car and centering that darn hockey puck... bending over and finding the hole.... the jack pad... ARGH!!! Yes, I know... this is serious stuff. The Solution: PUCK-Center-Disk-O'-device. Yessir, I am going to patent this and get rich! How...1) drink too many Pilsner Urquells.... 2) Stare at curvy, tempting, automobiles on the internet. 3) Bump it up a notch and watch those curvy tempting automobiles have a jack placed under their parts and then their wheels removed... slowly... ooooo. 4) Now take matters into your own hands.... go make a hockey puck jack thingy. Ingredients: Hockey puck, big-*** washer, washers for spacers, screw. Yes screw. Cost: about $2.00
Now I just reach under without looking, push this thing up the bungy and hook it, place, then jack. Wow... this is easy. Perfect alignment every time and no popped vertebrae.
I am not worried about publishing my invention before I file the patents... it is way too complicated for any of you to devolve.

Excellent! Do you happen to have a photo of this suspension frame thingy? I don't want to break anything while lifting the car. I would prefer jacking it from the rear than the front. Thank you for your feedback.

Thanks for the link, the floor stand I have are the conventional rectangular metal block on top. I notice the ones on this link he has round top, will mine still work putting it on the jacking points?

seriously just get a pair or 4 of these and you won't look back. You put them in the jack point holes and rotate until they hold themselves in place. rotate to unlock them. Pretty much any jack stand will work fine.

I was about to buy a pair of these until I saw this photo on one of the threads regarding this topic. Any thoughts? I have these same jack stands by the way.
Ok fellas I did my first oil change today, to OP sorry if I'm going a bit off topic but I did have to jack up my car for this job, my car has lower springs. I used the trusted Rhino ramps for this job. My question is did I put too much oil? I poured approximately 8 quarts of oil. My car is a 2009 C2 3.6L.

That level reading is fine as is one line further down. Above that line would not be good and you'd need to remove some.
