Default Jack Question

Hi, I want to jack up my car to rotate my tires but I don't have a hydraulic jack so I was wondering is it possible/safe for me to use 2 factory jacks, one on each corner or the jack points? Like if I'm doing the left side I could put on in next to the front tire and one in the back and have two people jack it at the same time?

Or is it safe for me to jack up the car from the middle so I can access both the front and the back wheel at the same time?

Any help is appreciated and sorry if I sound dumb, its just cause I never done it before, Thanks.

Get some Jack Stands. Jack Stands should be used even if your using a hydraulic jack because hydraulic jacks can fail. Mechanical Jacks, specially ones that come with the vehicle are easy to tip, as in someone smacking the car when your under it. Jack Stands are you friends.

Here some 6 tons off of Amazon.

I got a heavy duty solid Jack from Sear's with the Stands. Really does make a difference.
