Where do I jack up the front of my LS1?

Were getting ready to install my headers on my Hawk and I need to know how to properly jack up the front of the car. The back you jack up on the rear-end I believe but I have no idea where to jack up the front. Also, where is the best place to put the jack stands during a header install? Thanks

I jack the front of my car up by the frame behind each wheel, and place the jack stands either on the lower control arm, or the engine cradle (K-member). Both work fine.

for me I have to drive up on bords so I can put my floor jack under cuz my jack doesent go low enough.

When lifting the front I usualy lift in the front center , it is sorta a heavy duty bar like thing under the engine and has worked fine up to this point.

Jack stands I put behind each wheel, make sure you get the frame and not the tab where the fenders connect with 2 screws
