Thats exactly how I do it. I had a good friend die from pulling a tranny out from under his tow truck when he was only using a hyrdaulic jack. He knew better than that to. Stuff just happens so ever since then I have been cautious.
Invest in a good set of 6+ ton jack stands that will reach your frame.
On a side note.. when I did my clutch install this past summer I didn't even get the wheels off the ground.
