Default Jack stands all four

I found a good spot up front but not the rear. Im trying to replace my differential fluid this weekend and need to know where a good spot is. I tried the pinch weld but they bend.

I put them along the sides behind the side skirts, that area will bend but no one sees it so its been bent flat and the jacks rest there no problem.

I use my jack stands at the pinch welds, but turn them sideways and along the inside of the pinch weld. I tried using a block with a slot cut out, but that was more trouble than it was worth. If you feel under there, there is some plastic near the wheel well. I try to make sure I stay just off of that with my jack. There isn't a lot of room under there for a hydraulic jack and a jack stand. So the stand goes pretty close to the jack. If you use the jack that comes with the car, you should have more room.
