On the Explorer where in the front & rear do you put the jack stands?

I usually put them under the frame near the jacking points. The owners manual shows the location of the jacking points.
 






jack points on frame or any big beefy strong looking spot. But if your unsure, because you have not done this much.. jack points.
 






On the 2007 the jacking points are marked with a diamond cutout in the side of the frame. Just behind the front wheel and just forward of the rear wheel. I put axle stands on the flat part of the frame rails. The frame is boxed and appears very strong and robust.
 






I know it's not an option for everyone, but I always keep few pieces of 6x6 and 4x4 PT lumber. I placed those under the frame, and feel much safer than jack stands. I just stack them up to the desired height.
