I put the hockey in my jack's "bowl" and then lift the front sides of the car at those plastic rectangle pads. I normally just lift my car from the driver's side pad just behind the driver's front wheel. Once the car is high enough in the air... I put some jack stands under the car.
Dack- if you use the driver's side jack point to lift the car, How do you get a jackstand in the same location?
