Also, for the side locations, you'll definitely want to look under the car before setting the jack. If you get it in the wrong spot and try to lift the car, you can easily crack the rocker panels. Several companies also make jack "pucks" that lock into the jack holes in the frame, and create a spacer to protect the rockers (just like the C5 and C6 Corvette generations).
Ah, so the suspension cradles are cast aluminum. Good deal. Thanks. It's tough to get answers when a forum is so new.
