The manual shows the jacking points. There is no frame on the Grand.
Or you could put the jacks under the axle on both sides if you want a
quick way to drop the height an inch or so and don't mind the noise of a
bent axle.

Why then does the owner's manual mention that the stock jack should be
placed under the axle when changing tires? Could it be that it is OK
to use the axle as a lift point for a short time? I find that my 2 1/2
ton hydraulic jack does not go high enough to lift the tire off the
ground when I jack under the frame. I would like to jack under the
axle; put a jackstand under the frame, remove the wheel and then
remove the jack from under the axle so the jeep rests on the jackstand
under the frame. Can this potentially damage the axle?
