I went with AC.

AC Floor Jacks

If you jack it too high in front the rear will hit or not give you the clearence to get a jack under the rear. I bought the jack first and measured for the stands. The stands work on their lowest settings. The jack will go under the tank and contact the lift point in front of the tank. Works real good. AC jack was the lowest and deepest I found. The 4" frame pipe sets right in the stand cups. I have young kids running around so lateral support was important. I doubt the car could be knocked of the AC stands.
