I purchased a low profile jack along with the aluminum inserts for lifting the XLR. I am just a little apprehensive about where to actually place the jack stands.
Thanks much!!

I would use your low profile jack & place it under the front cradle & lift the front end. Place the jack stands under the front lower control arms out close to the wheels. Use the same jack & place it under the rear cradle & lift the rear of the car. Place the jack stands under the rear lower control arms out close to the wheels.

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a therapy for chronic tremor diseases like Parkinsons, Dystonia, or Essential Tremor that do not respond to drug treatments or the patient has become resistant to or intolerant of the drugs. It can also be used to treat chronic pain in some cases. A pacemaker type device is emplanted under the skin in the upper chest, electrodes are threaded up the neck and along the scalp, small holes are drilled in the skull and the electrodes are placed in the brain where the tremors are originating. When the pacemaker is turned on the signal interfers or cancels out the tremor signal to the muscles and normal motion is restored. It works very similar to 'noise cancelling' headphones for hearing only this is electrical signals directly into the brain. It is quite remarkable technology and patients usually have very dramatic and positive results with the therapy .

To get back on topic. I drive any day it is not snowing or icy, which this winter has been many days here in MN.
