Veebyes, different schools of thought, you still have one side on the wheels, I would be concerned how the unloaded side of the axles would act when removing bolts. When working on axle mounts I want the axles hanging loose, and control with a jack.
Cribbing like this is more stable than single blocks stacked. I had a stack like this on both sides.
Front supported by Landing gear AND the jack stands they are sharing the load.
This is the view from the front, hard to notice, but the pavement isn't level side to side.
It can be noted in the top photo I have the bottom layer of cribbing shimmed to level, I also shimmed the bases under the Jack Stands level.
It should be noted that once the cribbing and jack stands were in place and the wheels clear of the ground, I put a hard shoulder into both the front and rear of the 5er, it didn't budge.
When using a bottle jack, I place blocks under it to create a steady base and lift on the axle directly under the spring. The axles are not so thin they are going to collapse.
