I have the front end off the ground, and am unsure where to put the jackstands?? The only place seems to be under the torsion bar mounts, or the sway bar main bushings?? I am planing to have a four wheel jackstand thing happening until at least noon tomorrow, and I have to jack both ends one after the other. I don't want them so far forward that iit puts a strain on the frame? Help me out if you will, sitting on the jack right now. ,,,,BB

Place them under the side rails behind the front tires. Its the stronger section of the body...kinda lookd like a frame rails for a truck but not nearly as large. I used to put them under the subframe near where the lower control arms are but they'd sometimes get in the way. The side rails are the best location since they give alot of space.

Oh yeah, a good place for the rear stands are under the rear strut mounts on the solid axle.
