Jack Stand Location
I'm sure the amount of us who have had a reason to get underneath our cars is rather limited right now but I wondering for those who have, did you use jack stand and where did you place them? I read the manual and I can see on pg. 354 that there are four jack up points (for spare tire jack) that look sufficient for jack stands, however I am a little nervous from what I saw when I tried to use jack stands at these locations over the past weekend.
I placed jack stands at the front jack up points as seen on pg. 354 of the manual. As I began to lower the car, I noticed slight bending begining to occur . I did not want to risk lowering the car anymore since I was not convinced it was okay. Any thoughts?
I plan to use ramps when possible, but it would be nice to use jack stands at these locations.

well the jack stands I used are seen here.
The jack that comes with the car has a notch in the center that is deeper than the notch seen in the above link so I wonder if this type of stand is not good to use on this car. When I was doing some shopping I noticed that some jack stands have deeper notches in the center than others.

It's there, just in the center like all vehicles.
