Are you a deep sea diver or someting, you jacking it up from the Atlantic ocean?  :lipsrsealed:

Get some axle stands/breez blocks under that point on both sides, it'll be fine.  If thats the place that I think it looks like. LOL.

Should be ok, I can see that you got the blocks just under the box section iron where the rear bumber arms slide through and bolt up. I use the bit just under the rear door, just before where the arch begins, or as golf8v says, just before the rear axle mount plate.
