I have the pucks on the car, but I need to jack up the front end to replace the end links. My jack isn't long enough to reach the center front jacking points. Could I set the jack just in front of the pucks, and jack the car up, so I can put jack stands under the pucks?
I would use the puck location to jack the car up and use your jack stands under one of the locations under the car. Those pucks are flat and smooth and I would not want to put a stand under one of them. Easy for the puck to slide off of the stand, especially if only one end of the car is lifted because the puck with not be level.
Just me. That does not seem safe.
jack by the pucks place the stand where the red dots are. btw, which end links did you go with, i just replaced mine with the moog, ,because they are serviceable and i dont need adjustable

He indicated his jack may not reach the center jacking points so in that case use the blue points closest to the front and do one side at a time. Don't forget the jack stands for safety.

right, so i was saying get one side up and then get under the front. i get one wheel up on a 4x4 and then get the front jack point
If you've got ramps, drive it up on those then jack from there. Can also make little ramps from pieces of plywood to make more room to get the jack under there.
Can make wheel risers from 16ft of 2x10, cut eight 2 foot sections & glue/screw two of each together for each wheel. Can jack up one side using floor jack on jack pucks, put the risers under two wheels on that side... then go to the other side & do the same thing. Then there’s enough clearance to jack up from front or rear x-members... still a little PIA, but what I find the best compromise... each end is then lifted 3” fairly easily.
