Look along the lower rocker panel. There are two arrow marks indicating the jacking points, one behind the front wheelwell and one in front of the rear wheelwell. Place the jack on the Pinch weld of the frame.

Also, if you look underneath the frame, you can see a couple flat spots that you can place the jack stands.

Another tip; you can place the jack on the pinch weld just behind where the side view mirror is and then you can lift both tires off the ground.

A ramp turned backwards is better for the fuel filter than a jackstand because the stand will be right in your work area. I'll send you a PM with some tips that worked well for me on the fuel filter R&R.
