On a related note, I'm curious as to why you're using the "forward cross" tire rotation pattern versus a front-to-rear pattern? I don't see any advantages using the "forward cross" pattern.

Personally, I tend to take more frequent aggressive right hand turns than left hand turns so I tend to wear the outside shoulders of the left tires slightly faster than the right.

When I need a front corner on jack stand, I place a hydraulic jack under the A arm's big end, with a piece of 2x4 on the jack's head to spread out the load, jack up the car, then put the jack stand at the sill lift-up point.

That's probably what I'll try.

BTW, I'm assuming you're using a hydarulic jack, not the stock jack?

Yes.

It's what I've always done. Seems reasonable to rotate the tires through all four corners if you're going to bother rotating.
