I'm thinking I may have to jack up one side at a time in the fronts and just use jack stands. Since I can do the rear in the middle, it should be fine then.
So I'm assuming for the front, there are two spots per side where you can jack it up, and then place a stand underneath? Where are those spots again?

I have the Harbor freight jack above and a stock height S w/ OEM lip.
That jack will not reach the front center jacking point.
What I do is drive the front up onto a foot long 2x4 piece of wood on each side and then there is enough room to get the jack under there and slowly get it up in the air.
go for the Harbor freight jack and get a couple pieces of wood

Where is the point in the center where I can safely jack up?

Thanks for the tip. I am thinking of getting the Harborfreight one.

Be careful of the side jack points as the below diagram is not very specific. If you were to look under the car, it would appear that there are three jack points on each side, with two closer to the front wheel. IIRC, not all of those points on the side near the front wheel can hold the entire load (I'm still looking for the answer somewhere on the board, but our search sucks).

he want to jack it from the front. i have this one. it works with oem lip and my coilovers. but i only paid like $250 4yrs ago. If you dont want to spend that much just buy two harborfrieght and jack it on the side at the same time. I have that harbor frieght one too and i like it lot. its light but doesnt work on my suv.

It was confirmed on another car site that this "ATD-7325" jack is a private label Omega 29023 (ShinnFu North America is the manufacturer, Omega is their own brand).
