Jacking points
I have the standard Bilstein jack for raising the vehicle but it always makes me cringe when using even though it lifts the vehicle ok, my problem is that I am on uneven ground on gravel and the base of the jack moves as the weight loads on it. I have other trolley jacks but do not want to place them in the wrong place and damage underneath the vehicle. Ideally when lifted I then can put axle stands in place as an obvious added safety. Have looked at WIKI but cannot find the ideal places to place both a trolley jack and an axle stands. Any tips welcomed.

Re: Jacking points
I jack up under the suspension arms and put the stands under the jacking points.
