The best place to jack is under the front subframe ( in the middle just behind engine ) and the rear diff. You will need a low profile jack for the front but the back should be OK with most jacks.

yeah just dont use a cheapo trolley jack on sills or chissis legs
i always place a thin-ish bit of wood between the jack and car anyway so that the jack doesnt "dig" into the metal in anyway.
