I'm hoping someone will chime in here with a better method. I jack on the rear jack point until the front is high enough and put the jackstand on the front jacking point. Where the control arms attach to the underbody can be used for the jack stands too but my car has some cross bracing that makes it tricky. If you jack on the front jack point and put the stand under anywhere under the car I would use a block of wood on top of the stand to spread the load better. For the back I jack on the pumpkin. I don't think it's recommended on any IRS so I get the car up and get the stands under it asap and drop it on the stands.
