Check my pics in my Craigslist posting and see if you agree with my Jack stand placement and if not please indicate the proper spots to use. Thanks very much. 
 

Every new generation seems to be more and more tricky in this regard.

I can't tell where you've got it in the front, but that's pretty easy, big ol' frame rail behind the rear control arm mount.

That works in the rear, although might bend that stamped steel arm, and the jack stand is kind of in the way.

 

On my rusty 2000, I usually put them on the trailing arm right up against the bushing where it meets the body. On the later ones (I'm not sure the exact cutoff, but our '04 Outbacks definitely have them), there's a brace on the bottom of that going forward to the diff mount bracket (?) that's fabulous for jack stands.

front jack stand goes just behind front wheel well, under the subframe.. I usually put mine at the point where it Ts toward the center of the body..

Rears are tougher, but yeah, you should be ok there..

Thanks. Yeah going so inboard scares me. Way more comfy out at the corners as best as possible. 

Also concerned about the rear arms but they seem to take the weight. 

 

Can always cut a slot in a block of wood and put it where the car jack goes on the body.

If there's any metal there. The rear jacking points are the first place to get soft, especially if the car has rocker mouldings.

Rust free Colorado is Great!

Like the 80’s boom box in the back ground!

Is it for sale

That radio has a story , of course. 
 

So one day some local bigwig got permission from the FCC to put up a radio station and its towers across the street from us - roughly. The transmission from that station would naturally blur over many other stations , pretty much all of them excepting the local high watt news/BS station. 
 

Ok here’s the tickler. You could even hear that station in an appliance !!! Yes , we all went over to Uncle Gus’ place so we could witness the radio coming from the fridge!! True story. I’m sure there’s similar out there. 
 

So , that radio you see was the station’s hush up gift to various neighbors who complained.

Enjoy !

I got some slotted polyurethane pucks on Amazon that allow me to use the lift points for the OEM scissors jack; the slot allows the pressure to spread to the body and protects the pinch welds.  I like having the jack stands as wide as possible for stability, and feel much more comfortable using this method.

I also got a slotted puck for my floor jack to protect the lift points, and occasionally use it on the scissors jack lift points if necessary.

By the way, I found a long-reach floor jack at a reasonable price - it makes it easy to use the recommended lift points.

Your profile says you live in Wisconsin, but then you mention lifting by the rocker panel.

I'm guessing your cars are less than....8 years old? 

 

Even on our '04, which I removed the rocker molding at 130k miles, the rockers are not safe to support the weight of the car. My 350k mile 2000 doesn't have rockers at all....

Yea, those are nice on a solid car, but if you live in the rust belt, be very careful!

Indeed. Fairy lucky with both my daily 2003 and this donor car 2000. New England and on the shoreline. 
 

Oh how many Subarus have I heard that crunch noise on ? And Oh the pain that goes through your heart at that moment.

Yes. I can't agree with these 2 sentences enough.

and you know things have rusted beyond safe use when a jack goes thru the subframe...

yeah, no way i would use the rocker points for jacking anything but a new car, LOL
