Use the jack points on either side of the vehicle. Check the User Manual - it gives all the info you need.

Owners manual says to use the rear diff as a jacking point IIRC, im able to jack it but where exactly is a safe place to put the jack stand

In the center of the diff. Thats deff. the best place. Just use a good mecanhics jack and u won't have a prob. U have jacked a car up before, right

Use the differential. Put a wood block on the jack to avoid scarring the diff housing. Put the jackstands on the jack points under the floor pan seam. Lower the car slowly on to the seams. Life will be fine, and you'll be able to remove both wheels at the same time.
