I need help as to the proper jacking points for the new chrysler 300. I have a floor jack (good one) and it sets up too high to go under the engine sub frame for a front jack point. Could someone please tell me where I can properly lift this car up to service it ?
Thanks in advance

I jacked up my car with a 2 1/2 ton floor jack at the same jack points that are used for the standard jack. The points for jacking look like a small round disk protruding down just in front of and behind the wheels.

The jack and lift points are the subframe contact areas just behind the bend of the frame at the front and about 6 inches frontwards of the rear wheel wells. The manual specifically warns against lifting the car by the suspension component arms or bushings (They don't look like only one lift point would be very stable). The jack that comes with the car lifts at a notch in the plastic trim and lift at the seam of the frame. The round areas that look like lift points are plastic and just crush right down to the floor pan. Its hard to get the hydraulic jack out and still have room for the jack stand. You need a lift range of about 10" to get the wheel off the ground for tire changes and such

I jacked up the Magnum a couple weeks ago. I remember the round plactic disc in front of the rear wheels but did not see any for the front. I will look again.
