Where to place chassis lift?

I go to the hobby shop here on base to do routine maintenance on my truck. i usually use the drive on lift but am going to put my leveling kit on today and need to use the chassis lift. where do i put the feet of the lift to safely raise my truck? i've tried before and the front is easy but the back i can not figure out. the frame curves up so early i dont like to put the feet before the curve cause it looks like too much weight hanging off the back of the lift. any help would be greatly appreciated!

The flat spot right before the the frame curves over the axel is were the rear feet go....

Ya....it don't look right but the engine weight compensates for it up front....

What I always do on those lifts is raise it up a little off the ground and wiggle the the vehicle to make sure its secure.....
