Jack stand position 69 Charger

Hello again. I want to begin undercoating the car so it will be on jack stands. Where should I place the stands? I would prefer not to put them under the axle because having the axle hang down will allow me to better reach the floor and I plan on removing the suspension (front and rear) in a few months anyway. The car is still a little heavy as the motor (318) and trans are still in it.

Are the frame rails strong enough?

Is your frame strong enough to support your car while it's sitting on the ground on all four wheels!?  :icon_smile_big: It will be fine unless you have crunchy rails!!
Sold my Charger unfortunately....never got it finished.

When I did my undercoating I had all the suspension off so I simply put the stands under the frame rails. Now that the front and rear suspension are back in I put the rear stands under the axle tubes and the front stands under the rear K-frame bolt heads (with padding on top of the stand cradles).
