With the unibody design what points do you use to jack up your vehicle with a floor jack and where do you place the jack stands?

The best jackstand points on the chassis are as follows:
FRONT--right behind where the lower control arm bracket is welded to the "frame" rail
REAR--inboard of where the front spring hanger bracket is welded to the "frame" rail

The Best? What about the front axle, and the rear axle? jackstands as close to the outsides...

Both of ya are right, just depends on what your working on... Frame if your working the axles.. axles if anything else.. either or.

What XJ-Unlimited is correct. I was assuming you were looking for the "jack points" on the chassis. If you are placing jackstands on the axles, as far out on the tubes as you can get will be best.
