I usually lift at one of the frame rails where the rear trailing arms attach.
This is the point where the two main rails are the closest together. This
isn't exactly center but near enough.
Also, I will lift the front end and set it on jackstands set to their lowest
setting. Then I will lift the rear. Then I will raise the front to the
desired working height. IOW I do it in stages. I know it is extra work but
the
technique gives me the opportunity to make sure the car is well settled and
stable on the stands before I put my life at risk.
