The subframes carry the suspension. The places you describe are just 
boxed sections of the floorpan, probably not strong enough to sup****t 
the car without risking damage. You could jack the front crossmember to 
lift the front, place two jackstands at the front rocker panel jacking 
points, then jack the differential and place two more stands in the rear.

You won't find the jacking points by feel--you gotta grovel and use your 
eyeballs.
