Question regarding jack stand and lift points

i tried searching, but the pic are all gone. oh well..

can someone clarify exactly what points i use to lift up the car using the jack (i have to 2ton ones from autozone) and where and what points to use for the stands?
hope this becomes DIY for safely jacking up and putting your 8 on jack stands for newbies.
thanks for the help.

you can lift and jack at the center of the front crossmember behind the plastic undertray and oil tank.

you can jack the rear at the end of the differential. it is where the exhaust pipe bends. jack up on the somewhat shapy looking black fins.

and also, lift and jack stands can be used at the sides stated in the manual.
