Stupid question from mustang newbie..

Where is the best place to jack the car up from, and then where should I set the jackstands... I started at the standard lift points, but my jack seemed to bend the metal there.....

I got concerned and said screw this, got my ramps out and backed the car up the driveway, then onto the ramps so i could work, but I need to know good points for when I do my suspension and driveshaft if my buddy doesn't comethrough with the lift....

Thanks in advance!

ok, I was going to try that when I go home next, I just wasn't sure if it was a good idea to jack on the cross member, wasn't sure if it was strong enough.

Thanks again
