Where if any are the jacking points on the car.. Like if i wanted to jack up the whole back or whole front of the car with a standard floor jack.. Ive looked everywhere and cant really find a good spot to put the jack..
Thanks in advance for the help

I guess I'll be the first to say this because I've read it stated many times, use the quick search at the top of this forum for your questions.
However I personally seen Autozone's link showing the images where they are here.
Autozone User Guides Follow the step by step process.
for your car and you will come to a list choose
General Information & Maintenance then from that list choose the link for
Jacking.
On a 'vert? The thick frame rails on either side of the chassis. Don't use the front rad support, it'll slide. There's nothing safe forward of the front wheels, or back of the rear wheels (other than the rear beam axle, but that too can slide).
There's also the stock jacking points, but they tend to bend on a jackstand. The diagram is on the spare tire cover.
I am largely disappointed. I asked the same question awhile back and my thread sorta turned into this. Everyone knows about the stock jack points. We also all know they are of little use when you are not using a lift, or are not changing a spare tire.
Everyone chimes in with the places you shouldn't jack, but this thread pretty much tells me nothing. It does tell me what I already know, stock jack points suck and everywhere else is unsafe. Wish I had a jeep with a real frame
"The Blue Bullet"
Up front when doing an oil change, I jack the car up using the stock jacking locations and place jack stands under the rear bolt from the front suspension. It is the only place I could find that didn't bend and wouldn't slip while I was under the car. I rarely have any need to jack the rear end up so I can't help much there.
when i do my back breaks and jack the whole end of the car up i usually jack one side at a time and use jack stands. Behind the rear tire the tubular frame that mates with the rear axal is where i jack from. depends on how much room you need. I do the same if changing the fuel filter or anything like that. Hope this helps.... i know where you are comming from, sometimes the simplest is the hardest to find.
even though your hands will be lubed up with oil, please do not jack on the oil pan.

When I lift the front, I put my floor jack right on the subframe where one of the mounting bolts for the lower control arm passes through. I lift one side at a time this way.
If you have a floor jack with a big enough pad, you can lift the whole front of the car from the center of the subframe.
