That's about all I'd do unless going very high on 6 ton stands, like high enough for an engine drop, in which case I'd go back and forth.
You have to be confident in the rollers on your jack, though, you don't want it fighting the car as it goes up!
This sounds absolutely terrifying, though, why do it like this?

I keep the jacks in a non weight bearing position as an added measure of safety. The thing is to raise each side equally by going from side to side.
