I agree w/ Chris about the floor jack comments. I also have a 3 ton craftsman roll around floor jack that I recently bought when Sears had a sale. For $99 I got the jack, two jack stands, and a nice creeper. Get a good roll around floor jack and you'll thank yourself every time. Now about the jacking points. I jack up the front one side at a time by placing the floor jack cup under the rear bearing mount for the front control arm. For the rear, I place the cup under the differential and jack up both sides at once. I place the jack stands under the jacking points (front or rear). Note that the top of my jack stands have a moon shaped cutout on which the car's jacking point can rest and be stable. If I'm working on the front, I then run the floor jack under the car and place the cup under the transmission mount and pump it up until it just takes some of the weight. You could also place the ramps under the car, just aft of the jack stands for additional insurnace. Never jack up the car by using the unibody frame (for lack of a better term). That's why you see so many of the 240s with this part dented up. Beware of tire shops that do this - make them use floor jacks on the jacking points or what I've described above!
