Jackstands in front
 
Doing some spring cleaning and need to know where I can place the jackstands in the front of the car if I'm using the jack points to lift the car.

There is a set of 3 bolt heads and a flat pc of steel connected to the suspension, can I place stands there?

Pics would be real helpful, I did a search but on my iPhone i might not have got it due to that?

Use the rear jack point to raise the side of the car until you can put the jackstand under the front pad. And after you do the same thing for the other side.

Thanks, I have the back on composite ramps. So I can't get to the rear jacking point. I was wanting to level the car to change the oil. If I can't then I can't?

alternatively back the car so front tires use ramps, i think there's better places on the rear to jack up and place the jack stands but not sure where. or find a driveway that's on a (slight) decline and use the ramps on the rear.

I can drain the oil with the car sitting on the ground and its very low. No need to jack the car up in my opinion for that.
