Frame rails. You can jack up both sides of the front by placing a floor jack
under the center of the cross rail under the front of the engine.

Spring mounting points, frame rails or axle ends.

Under the spring mounting points, frame rails, or the ends of the rear axles,
wherever you didn't put the jack.
Safety tip - After you put the car up on jack stands and BEFORE you crawl
under it, shake the car to make sure it is stable and properly supported.
Safety Fast!
