Is having them angled a problem? Has anyone come up with other solutions?

Resurrecting to highlight some new developments:
1. Quickjack now makes a crossbeam adapter that allows you to keep the quickjacks parallel even when the lift points are staggered, kinda like in the last post above. Pricey and not sure it solves the problem of rubbing on the front wheels.
2. While reading the link for #1 above it seems like the quickjacks can also be placed sideways (one across the front and one across the back). They caution that the weight distribution should be as close to 50/50 as possible. This is likely because one side will lift (or drop?) faster than the other. Anyone willing to try? Not sure if it will help with wheel clearance, and it also may obscure areas under the car-eg transmission mounts.
