There is four points underneath the car for floor jack lift etc. 2 in front of the rear tires and 2 behind the front tires , they are round about 2 inches wide and semi conical with a flat surface. there is also 4 lifting points for the original jack right above the others but on the sides of the car they are behind the rectangular plastic covers wich have to be remove, view owners manual, regular car ramps are too steep for this chasis , I use a floor jack ,parking brake on and lift the car one side at a time and slide the car ramps under the wheels for the front otherwise you will damage your front spoiler trying to drive on them. Jack stands are tricky placing them under the points of attachment of the control arms and the chasis , you could do some serious damage placing the stands in the wrong place, a good sturdy floor jack will raise the entire rear end by the differential I use a piece of wood in between the jack and the differential to avoid damage and place jack stands under the lifting points. BE SAFE AT ALL TIMES.
