Default Best way to raise my car?

As youa re all probably well aware, I'm doing brakes tonight/tomorrow/Sunday(Whatever it takes). I am doing front and rear, and have never had to raise the rear of the car. Should I:
A) Chock the front and raise the rear
B) Buy another set of stands and raise the front then the rear
C) Any other ideas? Thanks?

I always feel unsafe raising all four. You might want to do one set at a time.

Default Ok...I never even thought of this before last week...

but I needed to get my wheel off so I could get a tire plugged, and the wheel was rusted to the hub. It wasn't budging even after a 30 minute soak with WD 40, So I knock on my neighbors door, he comes over and jacks the car up about a foot higher and says...."you got a milk crate? I was thinking he was nuts. But it worked out ok. It's very wide and can actually support the weight. I wouldn't want to see what happens if one broke, but they seem more stable than a jack stand, especially if your driveway has a slight incline.

And I'm sure you've seen cars on the side of the road on 4 milkcrates with the wheels gone, right? I think that's where he got he idea from. Hehe.
