I have always used the triangle area too with good luck but recently 
bought a 2nd Harbour Freight ATV type jack which is rated at 1500 lb.
I put one on ea side of car just aft of door and alternately jack up ea 
side to the height desired and then put jack stands in the triangle spots 
in rear and frame rails in front. The HF atv jacks were on sale for $59 ea
minus $12 for 20% internet coupon from their web site. Makes pretty cheap 
jacking system and a good secondary support after jack stands are placed.
One small disadvantage is they do not lower as smoothly as a regular jack.
