Look behind the front wheel wells, you'll see a thing that kinda looks like a milk crate, behind that is a pirce of "frame" that is what you should jack on and then place jack stands under the lower control arms as far out as you can so the car stays up high enough.

To put headers in u need to jack the car High. The drivers side loads from the bottom and it has to be on end. do a search. Be carefull.
