Default Jacking up an AU

I know this will sound odd but if I have a 2.5t hydraulic jack, I usually place it just behind the front wheels to lift then insert axle stands.

Problem is that the jack has a circular face/contact and sometimes to make it flush I have to be at a large angle to still squeeze the stands in.

Can I lift front the front straight up underneath the k frame?

I can do it my old way but if I can go straight from the front it will be a lot less stuffing about.
