Subject:jack stands

hey listees:
I would just like to thank those that responded to my ? about storing my
westie.  I got alot of good suggestions.
So...what I have done so far is change the oil, put in a new fuel filter,
greased up as much as i could ( since its so cold i'm doing a littel here and
a little there), i bought a tarp to cover the cement floor of my garage,
picked up some fuel stabalizer, and bought some jack stands (3 tone set x 2).
 So my question is.....where do I place them.  Underneath on the cross member
(don't know the real name), doesn't even seem like they have one, onle metal
under there, or do i place them under the reinfored spots behind the tires
used for jacking (!!!!!!) up the car to change a tire..............I don't
want to obviously put in under a spot where I'm going to here a loud crash at
night and go out and find a wounded car.  I haven't been out to fully enjoy
my new westie yet...bought it the end of Fall, soooo I want to be able to
take it out and use come the first and appropriate spring day!!
TIA
