In general, where is the best place to put a jack to prevent damage when lifting?

The jack should be placed under a frame member or on the axle. Also, before you crawl underneath a vehicle that has been lifted by a jack, you should have an additional support in place, such as a jack stand, to protect yourself in case the jack fails.

Where the owner's manual / factory service manual say the lift points are.
