Question Craftsman Hydralic floor jack : Where to position ?

I just bought a Craftsman hydralic floor jack to allow me to jack up my Z much eaiser than using the one our cars came with.

I noticed though, my new jack has a circular platform to use for jacking up the car. . . and I have no clue where the best place would be to jack up my car without bending / ruining anything.

I hope someone can help me out with a solid jack point!

Respectfully,
Christopher

Front crossmember for the front. Differential for the rear. You'll probably have to drive the front wheels up on 2X4's or ramps to get enough front end clearance to fit the jack underneath.

You can always do the sides... just position it to contact the chassis just inside where the side skirts end.
