Umm, I'd suggest somewhere under the car would be a good spot to put the jack...

To jack the front I position the jack under the botton torsion tube, or the frame head.
To jack the rear I jack at the outside of the rear torsion bar housing and then place a stand under the torsion bar inboard of the spring plate, then
do the same on the other side.

But in all seriousness, under the front beam, or the rear torsion tube, if your jacking the bum end, are the best places.
