So I have rotated my tires once now, and i used that frame looking thing that runs the length of the car, in a ways from the factory jack points. i used a shorty 2x4 to spread the weight a bit and it did not dent in. I am still weary about it. So I need to rotate them again today. Where is the safest place to put 2 floor jacks? If you take it to a tire shop, and they put it on a lift, where are they going to put the supports?

I use the same place you did and have had no problems with it at all

the indicated jacking points are fine. THat is what they are designed for. I had the car up on 4 jackstands at the 4 jacking points yesterday and today while swapping coilovers with no problems.

I got this awhile back from a similar thread.

Be careful. I used to always do the same thing until my piece of wood split a little, causing the jack to fall off the frame and put a dent in my drivers side floorboard.

piece of wood? where?

i always put the stands at factory jack points, and so far it's been fine. had it on all 4 points when i rotate tires.

i think i am going to buy some of those things to put on my jacks, so i can lift on the factory spots

Yep, you aren't the only one. I posted about it in here back when it first happened. Several people have similar experiences.
