Look where the Control Arms go on the Body, they are solid points if you want the Axle to hang. If you just want it up, put the Jack underneath the Pumpkin, jack it up and put the Stands on the Axle.

I agree with the Merv. I jack the rear up by the chunk and put the stands under the axles.

Well it all depends on what you are doing. Maybe the suspension needs to be loaded, or not. Like merv said, the LCA support or the other parallel frame next to it that's closer to center of car. Or the axles.

your rear sway bar will rest on the jackstands too if you put it on the axle tubes. dont worry about that.
