I went through some of the previous posts and I am still confused. I going to get a good set of four jackstands and good hydraulic jack and some blocks to put behind the tires...3 tons seems to be the recommendation onthe jack and stands. I'll be doing this on my completely flat garage floor.

Now, where do I jack the car up from? And, can I put the stand near the holes for the OEM jack...underneath the foam pads that are on the frame?

Let's say I want to change the oil or the ATF and drain the torque converter. stuff that's all near the middle-front/front of the car.

I put the EB on, block the rear tires, then, can I jack the car up from the sides and then place one stand behind the driver side wheel where that foam pad is, then go to the other side, jack it up and put a stand underneath?

I read a couple of posts where the jack was left underneath the car "just in case". I assume there is a part of the frame or some cross member underneath the front of the car that this can be done from?

Thanks a bunch!
