Jack Stands
Almost everyone I speak with has a different place they like to place their jack stands when working under the car.
Where do you place yours and why?
Does anyone actually know where ford intended the stands to be placed?

front frame rails, just before they turn upwards to go under the front suspension.

Thats how I have mine on jackstands. Sometimes I will double up the jackstands on the front if I hvae to be under the car. By this I mean one acts a safety if something happens to the other stand. I place them close to being side by side or inline.
+1 on added blocking
Where is the best place to put jack stands on the rear of the car when dropping the axle and springs down?
