I use the side points right under the doors when I use my stands. Depending on what is removed, I'll either place a rim right next to the jack stand as an extra caution, or a jack in another key location. Stand up, shove the car a couple times...if its stable, should stay stable =P

If you use a jack under the rocker panels( under the doors) you have to make sure you dont lift UNDER the door. Try to put the jack under the door jamb |
