Thank you

Default I was able to place the jack as far forward on the unibody seam as possible....

....and I placed my jackstand directly behind it, also on the unibody seam. You might not be able to do this if the saddle on your jack is wider than mine.

Someone down the page (or maybe on page 2) placed his jackstands on the engine subframe...he even had pics posted that showed his car supported in this method during his DTS installation.
