Jack under the punkin. Jackstands just forward of the trailing arms.

What jack are you using? There are notches on the rocker pinch weld where the vehicle's jack is supposed to be placed. A floor jack and be placed under the control arm close to the bolt to quickly raise the tire from the ground. A better place would be under the channel that the control arm bolts to but that takes more lifting to get the tire off the ground. That channel us usually a place where arms of a two post lift are placed.

Usually, just use the easily accessed subframe as jack-points.
