What I've ended up doing (and it probably isn't the BEST thing, but it works for me) is just setting the jack up a little behind the actual point, right in line with it. I can't jack the car up as high as were I to use the actual points, but it does the job. I make sure to setup the jack stands as quickly as possible under the true point, to avoid putting any more strain on my improvised point (even though it feels pretty secure.) The only side-effect I've seen is a slight indentation on the bottom of the side skirt where the jack makes contact (which isn't even noticeable unless you're looking for it.)

Your fine doing that or you can use the center tow hooks underneath the car, front and back. The fornt you can use the cross member as well. You can really put a jack anywhere there is frame rail..
Do the swap yourself!!! Don't pay to do it, it is not hard...
