Indeed. Any normal axle stands from High Street store will suffice. Ones that have a built-in recess for the side rails are best. Get down on your knees and have a look under the side, the jacking points and stand points are just to the front and rear of the rear and front tyres, there'll be two little notchs in the rail to indicate the area.

If you're using the boot jack all is well, if you have a trolley jack with a flat sole-plate then you WILL need a piece of hefty angle iron to place in V between car and jack, else you will flatten the side rails.
