Default jack stands

Where do you put the stands on the rear of the car?

It depends on what your doin to the car. Id raise the back end by the center section (diff), and put em under the axle. Otherwise you could possibly dent/bend your subframe rails or torque boxes.

I place the jack stands directly inboard of the jack point on the flat part of the undercarriage or under the rear axle if I need the suspension loaded.

I think i'll start doing that because after lowering the car I can't get my floor jack under from the side.
