Default Re: Where do you position your jacks / jack stands?

If you jack up the car using the jacking pads, where do you put the jack stands? Every other surface in that area seems to be sheathed in plastic, which I assume will crack if I allow the weight of the car to rest on the jack stands' saddle there.

I assume I can safely put the jack stands either fore or aft of the pads and just live with the fact that it'll look a little busted underneath , but I wondered how the rest of you do it.

Tips?

I use two jacks and leave them in place and put the jackstands under the wheel suspension arms for safety/
