Are these suitable point for placing jack stand?
From the attached picture, are the red circled location suitable for jack stand to when jacking up the car using the jack point?
I do know the engine is another place for jacking up the car. I am doing an engine drop, but since I can't raise the car to the required 35 ", I plan on disconnecting everything and supporting the engine while raising the body of the car. The circled points will be used as jack stand locations to support the body of the car.
thanks,
anthony

I jacked up the rear of the car using the engine and placing jack stands under the lift pad points. However, since the ATV jack I need to lower the engine only goes up to 16", I need to raise the body of the car another couple of inches.

I'm curious why the subframe wouldn't be strong enough--even though many have posted not to use it for jackstands. More likely, the problem would be damaging the aluminum. If you had a flat top jack stand with a rubber pad, though...
