Thats the jacking point for a trolley jack but also use a piece of wood to spread the load across the diff

Sorry the front use the subframe in the centre near the diff.

Personally I use the box frame near the scissor jack points with a piece of wood to prevent them buckling, no problems what so ever and change my wheels every summer, winter
