Need help with car jacks

Depending on the jack stands you have, you may or may not need hockey pucks (no need to cut) for them. Find any place adjacent to the pinch weld that's part of the frame (metal of course, and towards the inside of the pinch weld) and that'll be a safe place for your jack stands.
