You beat me to it.
I was searching looking for a picture of a rod I had seen thet MB offered (or I think I had seen, maybe on E-bay) and copied this from a post I did.

I called Whunter to ask him how do I jack up the rear of the car and mount the jack stands, when removing everything out from under the car. Its just sheetmetal, and nothing solid to have the car sit on.
His reply, was to make some rods to insert into the jack holes for the jack stands to sit on. with this bit of info, and have seen somthing like this on E-bay before, I went to a welding shop to have something made.
we used a piece of 3/4 in steel rod. inserted it into the hole, and left 3 inches sticking out. then the guy made a 15 degree bend to each one so they would be level when sitting on the stands. welded a little plate on the ends, large washer could also be used.
make sure your jack hole aren`t rusted to the point they can`t take the cars weight.
