how to jack up one side of the RL

I want to do a tire rotation and was wondering if anyone can advise me as to how to jack up the side of the car so I can rotate front to rear on the same side without jacking up one wheel at a time. Seems there are a lot of plastic covers on the underbody, so I don't see a place to jack up the middle of the frame in order to raise up a side of the car.

Any help here is greatly appreciated!

Do you have any jack stands? This will help if you want all sides to come up if you have some jack stands.

yes i have stands, but I want one side up, so if I jack up the front using the area for the scissors jack, where should I place the front jack stand?-- and same question for rear jack stand.

Thanks!

There are four of these fram supports where you can put the scissor lift and the jack stands at. Two behind the front tire and two in front of the rear tire.

Cool, be safe while doing it, remember to put something directly behind the opposite rear wheel you are working for extra safety and support.

For the rear you can use the differential to jack it up and place the jack stands on each side. For the front I just used a jack on both sides and then placed jack stands underneath in case a jack went south. I had to do this yesterday as I sold my wheels.
