Default Jacking up the front

Ok, simple question. Is it ok to jack up the whole front of the car using a trolley jack under the cross member beneath the engine. Didn't want to risk damaging anything.

Make sure the jack in centered under the cross member and that you don't get the jacking pad over next to the front of the oil pan or it could slip and bend the oil pan. You will want to put jack stands under each side of the car if you plan on working under it. Never trust just a jack!
