When changing tires, can I just use the scissor stabilizer jacks to lift the tires off the ground?

I've read a few posts about changing tires and most of them mention using a jack on the frame. They all mention clearly not on the axle. I don't recall seeing any that mention using the stabilizer jacks.

It seems that's the easiest way to do it. I'm taking it to a shop and they were going to do it outside. I also read to unlatch the shell to prevent stress on it while jacking. If the stabilizers were used, it seems like it could be jacked up and kept relatively level while swapping out the tires.
