is it ok to set my jack stands under the cross-member?
cause every where else it seems that the weight of the car is bending something under there?
where should I put my jack stands?
thanks for your input, oh yeah this is a virtually rust free (underneath) car. (1979 2+2 280zx)

When I had mine up for storage while engine was being built, I had the front stands on the crossmember under the engine on the outer edge towards the frame rails. The rear stands were on the sub-frame near the sway bar mounts.
Hope this helps.

i dont know if i do it correctly but, i always use a block of wood and place a jack or jack stands under a part of the suspention. i never jack it up or place jack stands under the body. simply because i already replaced most of it and i dont want it dented up!
