Jackstands under the front frame rails about 6" back... roughlyunder the pedals.
Jackstands under the rear should be on the axles.
And if you are taking the axle out?

Be careful if you jack the car up on the pinch welds on the rocker panes. They bend really easily.
With the factory jack? I've never had a problem with it though I could see howa floor jack which contacts it at concentrated points could damage it. Actually, I'm not sure where you'd safely jack the vehicle with the factory jack besides the pinch welds.

You support it by the rear framerails...
