A member above mentioned the 2.5 Ton Floor Jack from Harbor Freight, IMHO the 2 Ton Floor Jack (URL above) is nicer because it's longer and lower. I actually purchased two of them when on sale. Wait for a sale and get them for about $89 each. This floor jack makes lifting the Z a breeze. I use both floor jacks in conjunction to lift both sides of the front and/or rear together. Yes ... I'm a little anal, I know.

I support the vehicle by placing the jack stands underneath the frame of the vehicle. I'm by no means a professional mechanic, so do this at your own risk and be sure to research yourself. Below are some pictures you may find helpful.

I dont think Stino has placed the front jack point in the correct area, I made a comment in that picture of his in the above gallery link you posted. I was under the impression to raise the front you need to use the front cross member according to the service manual diagram.
