    Its a dumb question but I am replacing my REAR struts so I cant jack the car up from the LCA's and I am not really too confident with jacking the car up anywhere else since it all seems to be thin metal or like a bad place to jack it up at. Ideally I would like to jack the back end of the car up and put two stands underneath it and call it a day like I do on the subframe up front but I am not sure that is going to be possible in back. Any advice you guys can give? Car is a 04 grand prix.

    I use the center of the rear sub frame for the jack and place the jack stands under the floor "rails" that run parallel with the rockers.
