This is where I put mine, I jack it up at the Jack point and then place my jack stand just behind the rear of the wheel well, where the bottom of the plastic wheel well is screwed into the frame. It is just behind where your jack point is and a little to the front. The frame runs along their and then curves in toward the engine bay and then up. Hope this helps, kinda hard to describe.

Mmmm Hmm... just where I put mine up in the air. I am switching over 4 tires tomorrow and dumping the oil. I put mine in front near that frame section in front...and just where the body meets the chassis in the rear.(Pic would make more sense).
