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.

Cheers
