If you jack it up under the jacking points without pucks be careful. If it hangs over onto the white floor board thats only fiberglass and balsa wood. It crackes very easly. 
The painted portion of the rocker obvisly also cracks very easly. Jacking from the subframes are your safest bet. Rear crossmember that the sway bar bolts to and the front one just under the steering rack are the strongest ones. You might have to drive it up on blocks to get it under the front one though.
