Levi,
Inboard from the jackpoint there is a square frame member that is
quite adequate as a jack point. I've used that to position
jackstands under the front end in the past.
Make sure you position the floor jack under the "level" portion and
not where it rises. Don't want it to slide!
On my (no gone) 116 300SD, rust repair was done on the rocker panels
and jack points. The repairer just fabricated a rocker panel that
had NO access to the jack point. All surrounding metal was sound.
After that, I carried a small floor jack for on road tire changes.
None ever needed.
Hope this helps and be careful......

the floor jack under that same spot... Or is there some other nice
spot for
a floor jack to just get one wheel off the ground(front right
specifically)?
