Rotating tires without long reach jack

Who cares?

That's an emergency resource, for use in roadside emergencies, and it's less than optimal a few ways around. Great to have when you really need it, but it was never intended for maintenance duty and most of them never get used at all.

 

What I’m trying to get across is that pinch weld is a lousy point for either a jack or jack stand.

 

Don't be silly, that's a perfectly good way to lift a unibody car.

Yes, you can scratch the paint or bend a little metal if your jack or stands don't have soft saddles like the ones pictured upthread... but this isn't exactly a high bar to clear.
