Default Where do I jack up a 2001 SS using floor jack.

Greetings!

I have a 2001 MC SS. I also have a 2 tonne floor jack. Where oh where would one jack this car up using one of those floor jacks? Seems everywhere I go to jack it up, it's pretty soft and looks like bending is taking place. I also would love to know a good spot to place jack stands, specifically in the front. Photos would be awesome but I will take any advice!

I tried where the normal trunk scissor jack is suppose to go but that just did not work. LOTS of soft play.

As rj pointed out in the other thread, a small but fairly solid piece of wood can help if it will clear. I try to stay off the body and if I don't need to take the wheels off I use ramps (which barely clear)
