I need to know where in the rear center I can place a jack to lift both left/right together instead of using the side door jack spots.
thanks
is that safe with a jack? why not use jack stands?

There is a large lump in the middle of the crossmember that goes between the rear wheels, which is where you can position a floor jack. This is located just forward of the muffler. The owners manual shows the exact location.
Once you get the back of the car raised, place jack stands at the left and right rear jacking points, just forward of the rear wheels, and let the car rest on the stands.
heres an off topic question, is there another place to jack up the car from the front or a jack that is a lot lower? cuz a few months ago i wanted to jack up the front up, but the jack sits too high to fit under the jack location. didnt even think i was that low(TRD springs).
if not, is there a way to lift the front up? cuz the only way i can think of is to lift one side and put a stand there then the other, but that seems too dangerous.
