With all this talk of our cars on jack stands, i was wondering the best spots for the stands to be placed. I usually place the front pair right back of the front wheels, in the side channel on the floor (right inside of the rocker panel). The rear set, i put underneath the engine mountaing bar. Car seems balanced (doesn't move when i'm hauling my 300 pound carcass in and out while bleeding the brakes), i just wonder if it is the best spot.
