Do yourself a favor and buy yourself a jack and at least a pair of jackstands. You can normally get a decent set(jack and stands) for $50 if you shop around. Its a very smart investment. I NEVER get under my car without stands supporting it.

And as always, like shoebox said.

You can use a floor jack under the k-member, the plastic jack pads behind the front fender and under the rear end pumpkin. Use chocks to keep the car from rolling.
