When my low-profile floor jack (which was purchased to lift the front and rear ends of Mustangs and Tauruses) is positioned in front of the pinch weld to lift my Altima at Location B, I cannot position my jack stand under the pinch weld between the two notches.
I can reach Location B from behind the pinch weld or from the front of the car because I have no clearance to pump the jack.
My current strategy is to: 1. Use the car's scissor jack to lift the vehicle and remove the tire, 2. Position the floor jack in front of the pinch weld and under Location B and raise the car, and 3. Position the jack stand under the pinch weld.
Questions 1. Can I position the floor jack under under the pinch weld (Location A), raise the vehicle and place the jack stand under Location B? 2. If I can, should I take any precautions using this approach?

Questions
1. Did the Nissan Automotive Engineers have their heads stuck up their asses when they decided to not have a second rear lift/jack stand point? 2. Can I place my floor jack with the center of its arm approximately 10" in front of the read pinch weld, raise the vehicle, and put the jack stand under the pinch weld? 3. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the rear end on jack stands.
How do I put my 2018 Altima on four jack stands?
