Lifting it from the frame points you have circled should be fine. The front is where it would be lifted on a hoist, and the back is the same piece of the vehicle, so you won't damage the frame or anything. Just watch out for fuel lines when you jack it up.

Actually, if you are going to raise all four corners at once, just go by the body seam points indicated by the factory owners manual (the ones that are circled in the picture in black, not red).

For some reason when they ship the cars to the dealership, there are a bunch of underpanels not installed that the PDI tech has to install. No apparent reason for them not installing them, but I think there may be tie down hooks under there. The next one I have in the air I will look.
