You can jack it from the same place as where the factory jack goes, just move it over some to make room for the stand.

i'm just afraid to damage the body if i move it over...maybe give it a shot...strength should be all even all along that frame?

To raise the front of the vehicle, place the jack beneath the front subframe.

Support the vehicle with jackstands placed beneath the frame, just behind the front wheels.

Those pics are from the autozone repair guide, there's no picture for the rear but if I remember from mine, the lift point should be just infront of the rear wheel.

Hello

I've lifted in the middle of the rear "axle" using a floor jack.
