I'd say you could get a good floor jack under the front tranny mount - we
have used this spot for years. In the old days at Gandalf's Garage, before
we had lifts, we did everything on the floor using jackstands and
floorjacks. We always picked the whole rear (or front) of the van up from
the middle this way. You slide the jack under the car from either side, from
in front of the rear wheel. In the front you can use the frame piece at the
back edge of the spare tire pan.
