?Jack-Stand position?

Where exactly is the correct place to put the jack stands under the car without damaging/bending anything?! I would like to know for FRONT and BACK. Thanks

Garage jack points = where you jack up the car
4 middle circles = place to put jack stands

They are along the outside edge of the underneath. Stick your head on there and see. I use them all the time.

you can also hit the two chassis/frame rails inside the four jack points. (the runners inboard of the jacking points in the diagram above.) This decouples the rolling stock from the support point.

Makes a difference when you set up your suspension

Just don't use the factory jack on a slight hill while installing a body kit. Soon after, you will be finding any jackpoint you can get your hydraulic under. And it is pretty hard with a 3"+ drop and only a couple lug nuts in.

Sounds like a bad experience!!! I couldn't use the rear because of my RSB. Anyhow, I managed to lift it from the front. As for the back, I lifted it up 1 side at a time. Thanks for the help guys.

what if you have a rear sway bar under the rear beam? will jacking up the bar to lift the car damage it?

Why do you need to jack the car to bleed your brakes?
