^^^ yeah, but a jack that will lift from there and get you high enough to get stands under the jack points on the side is about $300. I always jack the back of the car from the boxed in subframe for the suspension arms. Just make sure you get the jack centered under there so it doesn't teeter-totter back and forth from being out of balance and as common sense dictiates, use jack stands.
