Default 2007 V6 Mustang - Where placing the jack stand ?

Hello !
(i remind that i'm french, i hope my english will be good enough for you to understand me)

Tomorrow, i want to change oil and iol filter on may 2007 V6 Mustang.
I've bought 2 jack stands, like those ones :



Can you tell me where can i place them (front of the car of course) ?
I must use the origine jack to raise the car and then, put one jack stand on the same side. Then take out the origin jack, raise the other side of the car with it and put the other jack stand.
It means that i can't use the "origin jack" location to put my jack stands.

so ? can somebody help me ?

Thx !

Place jack infront of rear wheels or behind front wheels

Well if you're French, you're sh$t out of luck Buddy.
Just Kiddin'.

The manual should show you where to place them.
If not, I'd put them under the subframe, right before the front wheels.
It's a strong spot.

Bonne chance et amuses toi bien.

You may find that those 2 ton jacks are too short to keep the wheels off the ground when placing them in the recommended chassis points. A set of 3 or 4 ton will work better I think. Also, invest in a floor jack, even a small compact one will be better than using the emergency jack.
