Hey guys. When you're jacking the front of your AUs - assuming you jack at the designated point - where do you put your jack stands? The main chassis rails? I'm scared to use the crossmember after stories of cracking.
Looks like it's my turn to do the front hub shuffle.

Chassis rail, about level with the A-pillar. You are correct about the cross member cracking, so leave that alone.
