Default Proper jack stand placement..

Does anyone have pictures of where to properly place the jack stands?? I feel safe with my front end, but I'm worried about the rear. Having a hard time getting the floor jack in a proper place and considering the trans is blew, its probably going to be up in the air for a while..

When I jack the rear up I generally put the jack stands under the differential or some part of the frame. And then I keep the jack under the center of the differential as added safety

just be careful when jacking the center of the diff. you can bend the cover pretty easy.

When you jack up the rear of the car slide the floor jack under the car from the rear and jack up on the diff where the torque arm mounts to it. It will save you from tearing up the diff cover. I have always put the jack stands just in front of the control arms.
