Make sure you don't hit the front fender bolt tab things when jacking up the front. They hang down under the body, about even with the front of the doors, and have 2 bolts in each side.
I usually do mine under the rear end and the K-member. On the side of the road however, there is some spots right by the front mount for the LCA's and under the thick part of the unibody behind the front tires.

If im correct you would be setting off the side molding alignment and that won't look good

i fixed my flared fenders...take the 2 bolts out, pull the fender away, use some muscle and an adjustable wrench and bend the metal tab straight down. then use a propane torch to heat up the plastic that get bolted to the metal flange (keep the end of the flame about 3-5 inches away) put your welders gloves on and bend the plastic to the metal and put the bolts back in...take a look at the fender, if it still sticks out use a hammer and tap the metal flange in or out intil its flush. ive done 3 cars like this and they all look great
