for the front, i've been jacking at the jacking point and putting
the jack stand under the skid plate, which is a beefy channel section.
the sides of the channel keep the car from sliding sideways on the
jack stand.

for the rear, i jacked under the rear differential and put the jack
stands under the jacking points.

anybody have a better way?
