Look at the lifting points under each side where the jacking pads go. Figure you want your car centered on the lift from these points. If you do not have jacking pads/pucks use a piece of 2x4 between the lift and the jacking point and you should be good to go. Last time mine was at the shop they lifted it with a 2 post lift from the jacking points using jacking pads and no problems. Pics of the car on the new lift when you get them.
