For the front I put the jack either on one corner of the engine cradle or at the jack point just behind the front wheels. For the rear I just use the jack point just in front of the rear wheels.

There are other places you can use also, but first I gotta say, I always hear crunching and crackling kinda stuff when I do use the jack points. But you can also use the (A-arm is it called?) whatever the thing is that allows the front wheels to turn. And as for the rear, you can use the frame itself, I always do, that and a cinder block so I can get it up higher if I need to.
