Set the parking brake. Place chocks under the wheel that can roll.
Lift one front wheel with floor jack (not a bumper jack, or not bottle jack). Place a properly rated, over-engineered jack stand, on firm ground and in full contact with the frame rail at hosting/support point indicated in the service manual, for safety.
Before you put a finger under the vehicle, you stand near the lifted corner, feet away from the tire, place both hands on a fender and give it a good shove left/right and then front/back to confirm the supported vehicle is not death or dismemberment trap in disguise.
That was the teaching of my recently departed father. That was his practice for six and a half decades, and mine for three. He died in his sleep with all his limbs and organs intact.
I've never been surprised by falling vehicle. I have been surprised, and I've endured mockery of very fortunate and, in my humble opinion, sadly cavalier people.

PS: the floor jack remains close to you, in place, while you're working, as a last resort stopping instrument if there's an earthquake or something else that's equally unpredictable and potentially catastrophic.
