You just need to get the car up on jackstands high enough that you can comfortably work underneath it. And, you need to make sure the car is level on the jackstands.

For work like this, I prefer to use wheel cribs -- they don't interfere with using jacks on the jack points, and the car will be level once it's up on the cribs. You can make your own out of lumber, or you can get some like these: https://www.raceramps.com/c/cribs/
Bill, a little more information would be helpful. Based on your experience what size do you suggest, 10, 12 or 14”

Do you have a picture or two of them in use with your many project cars
