Rear ones sit under axle tubes, for the front I use a small piece of 10mm steel plate in each cradle (sits proud of the cradle 'wings' ) and then locate them under the crossmember (this is for an LX).

Hi

If you have 4 stands and you want the suspension stations to hand down on all 4 corners - place the stands in the same positions indicated in the owner's handbook. If you intend to clean underneath you will probably want all the clearance that you can get.

Hi,

Go with Thrillseeker idea for the rear, the front i would place along the chasis rail towards the front.

Cheers

Ditto, except i use a piece of wood on the stands under the front, on the LJ. :spoton:
