I know this has probably been answered many times but I can't find it.
I'm going to jack up the car and put it on 4 Axle stands,
Where is the best place to put the 4 Stands??

Axle stands? Use regular jack stands with the pucks.

 

you can either lift the car by the frame, or by cross members.

Look under the rocker panels. You will see the 4 spots where the frame is exposed, and has a hole in it. You can lift at those points - make sure you don't lift on the body panels.

Or you can lift at the front and rear cross members (they're aluminum).

Generally, I tend to lift and support the car on the cross members. I used to support it on the frame, but I noticed my driver's side door feels a little different when openning and shutting while lifted on the frame.

 

Use a board to span the front and rear crossmember to jack, then you can place jack stands at the side rocker panel puck positions or place them under the boards spanning the crossmember.

 

What a brilliant idea.... Put them under the same 2X6 used to jack the car... I love it.
Thanks a bunch.
