Default lifting rear

I tired using the pich point in the rear but it just bent. I can't get the the subframe since my car is too low. Where do I put the jack to lift my rear safely??

Use your tire jack to get the car high enough up to get a floor jack underneath, and I believe there is a flat spot right in front of the control arm mounting point (torque box) that is solid enough to lift with..

That's what I did with my cars..
