72 K20 jack stand placement
 
I'm removing the front axle and leaf springs. Should I put the jack stands on the frame just to the rear of the spring attachment or on the frame in front of the leaf spring? It seems the rear is pretty far back and the forward is at the very front of the frame. Or is there a better choice?

I put them directly behind the front spring shackle hangers when I swapped axles and installed the lift springs. No issues at all for me doing this.

Be very careful with the Chinese jack stands being sold today. That cribbing looks stout.
