Best place to jack up?

Going to switch out the struts/shocks but don't know where to jack the car at. I have access to one jack and two jackstands. For some reason the rear jackpoint under the rear bumper has caved in, so I don't think I can use it.

Any suggestions how to pull off this project?

If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

For the rear, instead of using the damaged "center" point you can simply jack one side at the pinch seam and stick a jack stand in and then repeat on the other side.

Thanks for the suggestion, that's what I was thinking of doing but I wasn't sure it was a good spot to do it or not. Looks like the project is off again since today turned out to be a rainer.
