jack stand placement
I am getting all four wheels off the ground for the first time soon to change all the brakes & the steering stabilizer. The four jacking points are obvious, but what about jack stand placement?
The maintenance manual says:
FLOOR JACK: When properly positioned, a floor jack can be used to liftthe vehicle. Support the vehicle in the raised position with jack stands at thefront and rear ends of the frame rails.
Do I just find a suitable place on the "ends" like the book says or does anybody have a recommendation?

"Differential for the back, and crossmember under the motor for the front. Jack stands under the 2 "tabs" that are on each side of the vehicle."

You are saying jack the car up from the front crossmember and differntial and place the jack stands under the four factory "jack points" (plastic blocks) on each side between the wheels?
