Use good jackstands, and still don't completely trust them. The thick sheet metal ones with the pins are junk.
the car has to be level for all the fluid to drain. Fortunately the drain plugs are on the exact bottom. If you can't just reach under there, jack slightly, remove the plug and lower the car.
Yes, Swepco will make your car shift better.
Be sure to have a large drain pan under the oil tank. It will drop a LOT of oil in a big hurry.
With a wooden block for protection, I use a floor jack on the cast point just behind the round, black sump plate at teh center of the engine. Do not jack on the sump plate, but on the cast ridge just behind it. I then put SIX TON jackstands under the torsion tube covers. These protrude into the rear wheel wells in front of the rear wheels. Tehy are very convenient, rock solid and do not bend. Use a piece of leather or something to protect them.
If you use the right tool and nobody has overtightened them, these plugs will not be difficult to remove.
Good Luck
