Hi Mad1

My main worry is you jacking up that car and being under it for the first time doing quite a big job. I also slide the wheels under the rails for added safety. I use a floor jack to jack up the car from the diff (some will say it hurts the bushes but if its going to go it probably gone anyway I feel). I know of no real spots to put the jackstand except under the jacking pads. I always do both wheels in the air as I think the car will be more stable with 2 jackstands because the resting on on wheel actually makes the car shaky dues to the suspension. Please can the others can chime in here.

Also don't forget the 12 point hex drive. Study the new arms bolts supplied when you get them and you will know what you need. We don't doubt your ability, it just the safety issue.

Good luck again

Oreo
