I put my jack stands on the rear axle tubes for the back and on the front control arms (where the mounting bolt goes through) on the front).

Just a heads up, get some pb blaster, 15mm DEEP socket, swivel joint and 18-24" of extensions. Thats what youll need to get at the dreaded passenger side nuts.

And +1 on the bbk x pipe comments.
