Yes. Lift car via jack at sump with particle board or heavy protective that can crush to conform. Place 'jacks under (what I call) Frankenstein ears just forward of wheels.

Interestingly, when I do this, I can jack the whole front of the car from one side of the car. I put my 4x4 inch slotted block on the car just aft of the front wheel; at the seam, jack it up, and the whole front end rises. Jacks placed just inboard of the front wheel well, slightly back finished the job. Rock car to check for stability. If, as you lift and settle the front end, the rear 'jacks do not touch the ground at all points (they have shifted), lift the rear end again and let the rear 'jacks resettle correctly (happened to me only once, but...).

Put your wheels under the car at all four points---if the car falls, it falls on the wheels and not your chest.
