Default Noob question: Jacking points

Hi,

For people with body kits and side skirts, how do you get your car up onto jack stands?

My XT has a body kit and the side skirt only allows two jacking points on each side (front and back). This means if I jack up the car using the jacking points, it won't allow me to put a jack stand unless I place it on the side skirt, which would crack it. For the time being I'm using a piece of wood to distribute the load and jacking it up in the middle section (actually against the side skirt) but I feel uncomfortable with this as the side skirt might crack.

I see another frame further underneath. Is it safe to jack up the car along the point marked red? Any suggestions?
