If your tires are non directional - Cross the non driving tire .
I.E. Rear wheel drive - the rear tires move stait up then you cross the front tires - right front crossed to left rear , left front crossed to right rear. As for the floor jack either on the pinch weld or the center of the k-member . Jack stands on the pinchweld.

Thats wrong, when you rotate you dont tak-*+e tires from the right and put them on the left or vise versa.. If you look at the tires it says ROTATION and it points an arrow, if you put the right rear tire on the left rear side, the tire will be rotating the wrong direction.

Thats what he meant by stating If tires are NON-directional.
If they are directional you can only go front to back on same side.
