But this assumes an "engineered" solution for each and every
vehicle.
If your vehicle had a solid engine cradle or other substantial
crossmember you can already raise the entire front end at once with
an
hydraulic trolley type floor jack,

I've heard that you can lift the rear of a pickup with a jack centered
under the differential. I never risked trying it.

If you don't have a good jack, I can see not attempting it.

But it is SOP for shops (home or professional) when you need to
work on both wheels. Or even one Fastest way to get it in the air to
put the stands under the axle.
