Best place to put jack stands?

I am going to paint my calipers tomorrow, so what is the best place to put the jack stands. Are those notches by each wheel ok? I plan on using 4 jacks at once.

edit: Sorry, in wrong section.

Take your pick.

Personally, the rear axle and frame rails would be my choices.

This is somewhat on topic.... The stock jack warns strongly about jacking up the rear of the car from the center diff. I was wondering what's the big concern?!? If your using a std floor jack, what's the harm in jacking up the back from the center differential??? (And then placing jack stands under the axle close to the shock mounts)

If the stock diff cover is still on there, it hangs below the center section. So just be careful that you don't squish it. Aftermarket covers (like my Moser girdle) don't hang below it, so it's a lot easier.
