On the sills theres a piece of metal plating. That is the jacking point.

This picture should give you an idea.
Jack on the bit in red if your colour blind I've arrowed it in yellow as well. Don't jack and further forwards (marked in light blue) as thi is where the chassic bends back up and the jack coul come off.
Have a look under the front of the car by where the hinger are and you'll see where the picture shows. You could use the sill at the front but make sure you have a bar etc so you spread the weight out more else you will find yourself bending the sills.

So long as your careful there no problem lifting on the sills.
the problem come when people jack it up as fast as they can on garage jacks and bend the sills. If I have to life on the sills I use two jacks one at the fornt sills and one at the back and life the car on both at once.
