you could just use the jack stands that you can buy from autozone. ive seen that used on the front and rear several times..... plus they are fully adjustable.

Check these out. They arent that bad and are pretty cheap plus they roll around. haha

http://www.harborfreight.com/low-pro...and-99701.html

http://www.harborfreight.com/automot...and-66192.html

Ive had both. I like the second one and it also has an attachment so you can use it to lift the front as well. Plus harbor freight always has about 10-20% off coupons.
