Best place to position floor jacks

I am going to install a tilting front license plate holder and need to raise the front of the car. Where is the best location for the jacks.

At the Mercedes specified jack points behind the front wheels...look in your owners manual.

Do you have a couple of these jack adapters?

Think OP is looking for a central jacking point so he can put jack stands at standard jacking point, or looking for control arms, etc. that are good for jack stands while using the standard jacking point to get it off the ground.

But, I don't have a good answer as the under body trays in the front are extensive.

I almost want to say if you need us to tell you, maybe you shouldn't be doing this yourself?

Sounds plausible, I'd place them underneath the car!

Best place to use floor jacks

Thanks for the advice. Two jacks behind the front wheels on either side worked fine.
