While I have also placed my jack stands there, I sometimes use that as a
lifting point for the jack and place the stands under the low point of the
front subframe.  However, when lifting from these channels be sure the
saddle is properly centered around the channel as they are only made of
aluminum.  If you're off center you may end up flattening one or the other
side of the channel.

If you have a set of the larger 5-6 ton jack stands there are some fairly
beefy stand-offs behind each rear wheel that are perfect.  However they are
higher up on the body and you really need the taller jack stands to reach
them.
