Don't use the sill to jack off as it'll just fold in. I've always put the boot jack at the rear jacking point wound it up a touch so you can get you trolley jack under the front jacking point, pump your jack up so you can fit the axlestand under the subframe.

Where do you use for the trolley jack just out of interest?
