Oh my, thank you for the replies, all! So, to summarize.
1. Never use concrete blocks. Go with wood cribbing. I am good with this. Wood is cheap. And anything is cheaper than a hospital bill (or worse).
2. If possible, don't bother to jack (ie. drive the other wheel up).
3. Handy jacks are evil (I have seen them kick out myself and do not like them, so I am in agreement here).
4. If you need a jack, seems like a 3+ ton bottle jack is the way to go. With some cribbing.
To replace the front wheel I just drove up the other side on some wood, and then just used the handyman to take a bit of "slop" out of the missing wheel side (should've driven it up on more height on the other side probably).
Now looking at working on the front pedestal and was hoping to take the wheels and hubs off to rebuild/repair. But instead of doing both at once, I could always just jack and do one at a time.
