Plil,

A jack centered on the subframe member will in all likelihood bend the
subframe some (I did that on an earlier van).
What I have done recently is to use a piece of 4x4" lumber long enough to
span the length of the center subframe  (24"?)
(parallel to the subframe and perpendicular to the long axis of the van),
and then jack under the center of the 4x4.
This puts the force at the ends of the subframe where it is much
stronger.   I've also been meaning to weld up a proper bracket which would
take the place of the 4x4, but somehow that always gets displaced by more
urgent projects...
