Get the jacking pucks or small pieces of wood and use the lifting points on the frame. I would not want to use the aluminum sub frames for extended lifting.

Buy four hockey pucks at the sporting goods store. Place jack stands under the factory lift points, placing the hockey pucks between the frame and jack stands. Keeps the rockers from getting cracked!

Works for me!
