How are you guys jacking up your Yaris?

You would have to put the jack stands where the jack points are on the pinch seam behind the front wheels.

Thanks CT. Are those pinch seams pretty strong? Almost seems like you could bend those with the weight of the car sitting on them.

They are actually meant to be supported by a slit block, like the top of the OEM jack, as opposed to being supported by the edge. Prior to getting my lift I would lift the car from the center point and use my old jack stands under the seams. My jack stands have narrow tops, so I couldn't use the slit hockey pucks that I use when jacking at the seams. There is a bit of paint chipping on my seams from my stands, but no signs of deformation. With my lift, I actually lift it by the four pinch seams, but my lift has 6x6 pads with 1/4" thick rubber, so the pressure is well distributed.
