[Paul F]

I jack mine up on the cross member. Then put the jackstands in place.
1. The jack has to come in just in front of the front tire. This is the only place where you can get clearance.
2. Put the jack in the center of the cross member.
3. Once raised enough to clear the front of the car, twist the jack by its handle to the center.
4. Put your jackstands in place
5. Remove jack.
