Default Better jacking point

Hey guys,

I've always used the side rails on the bottom of the car to jack up the car but those are getting pretty chewed up. Is there a better jacking point? Maybe in the center of the car would be the best so I can raise both sides up at the same time?

Thanks!

I always use some point on the frame with a floor jack.

Same here. I find the support near the edge of the car and use that to jack the car up. If you put the jack under the driver's door area, you can lift both tires at the same time.
