The brick method don't work on my car... Can't get it up on ramps on the front or back either, so I use a jack off of a Jeep, its like an axle stand that has adjustable hieght. You put it where you would normally put an axle stand, then rais it up, pop it on stands and your sorted...

One at either side yes. It depends what your doing, oviously if your changing the suspension, you put em under the body.

put a brick IN FRONT of the back tyre if u can get it under the skirts and drive onto it. then jack the car. when u've finished remember to put the brick under the tyre again (or just leave it there) and slowly drive off the brick in reverse so the brick ends up under the side skirt again. try not to make the car bounce and don't be afraid to slip off the brick cause it won't (i've done it enough times)

...at the back? As i cant get the jack under as the skirts are too deep. Reverse it onto bricks get the jack under and lift it that way?? Then gotta drop it back down onto bricks tho.

And if i do it that way leave it in gear or reverse or what?

Need to somehow get my backbox to fit through my hole in bumper :boggle :lol:
