okay, this is gonna sound pretty dumb but I have never jacked my SVT and I have no idea how to do it. I took out one of the jack covers to see how but it all looks plastic. I have a hydrolic jack that I would much likely to use, any help? I feel retarted asking this

Jacking point on this car suck, especially with a hydrolic jack. Although even if you can get it under the side skirts, jacking on the body crease should be fine. The back of this car is a disaster as is the front. Do not jack on the rear control arm or stabilizer bar, whatever its called. I bent mine making for quite the pricey fix. Try jack stands or just avoid it all together. what do you need to jack for anyway?

Cut a groove in a Hockey puck, put in the jacks cup, line up with front jack point and whole side of car can be raised.

You should have no problems jacking up a stock SVT, hell mine is even lowered and I have no problems. I use a floor jack. Just take out the inserts and roll the jack underneath the car. Right behind the skirt is a metal seam that has a groove cut into it. Jack it up by that seam. Then put a jack stand on the seam and remove the jack. 
Edit: This is one of the only safe ways to do the rear, but you can use the front subframe to get both fronts off the ground at the same time. Just remove the splashguard and there it is. Just make sure to use 2 jackstands....
