It's difficult to put most cars on jack stands because they are usually the same as the jacking points. Also most people don't have long jacks that can reach the diff and front jacking. (usually a problem on lowered cars)

My experience with other cars, I found that there are other areas where you can use for jacking or as a safety area. I'm not an expert and this is only based on my observation from other cars. The frame area where the the front and rear subframes are usually very strong areas that can support a jack or jack stand. Usually these areas are closer to the center of the car so they are not ideal.

After many years of dealing with the pain of putting the car on 4 jack stands, I ended up getting a lift.
