I've got the center up on the lift here. Right underneath, there's actually two marks right here. This is where you would want to put the jack. I'm actually on a lift. The lift is just a little big. I have it is as far back as I can get it, actually. You generally want to put the jack under here. You can also, if you want to lift up one wheel, you can put your jack right underneath here and then put the jack stand up here for safety. It's the same thing on the other side. You can jack right under here. I would not jack in the middle of this vehicle, but it's okay to use the jack under each side, here. Then, like I said, put the safety stand right under here in the back.
In the front, it's the same thing. I actually do have the lift under the reinforcements, here. If you wanted to jack just one wheel or one side, you'd probably want to put the jack - and I'll go come to the front, so you can see better. You go right under here and you'll want to put the jack probably right here on this cross member. You could also put it under here, but you want to be careful not to bend this lower arm. Put your jack here. Lift it and then put the safety stands under the body to support it.
