I jack mine up by the front cross member all the time, and then put stands under the front inner control arm joint. At the rear I lift by the gearbox and put stands under the trailing arm where the shock bolts to it. I bought mine with caved in rails and forward side jacking points, so I would avoid using those as they seem to be pretty weak. The middle and rear side points seem to be fine though, I often use those if I just need to quickly jack up one side of the car. Here's a diagram I made of the points I use.
