Default Jack Stand Locations

Got to spend a few hours under the car this weekend doing various things and need to get the whole car off the ground for a while. For those of you who have "elevated" with jack stands....where is the safest placement? Sad things is I own a lift but my garage ceiling isn't high enough to install....LOL.

Place 12" long 2x4's on each jackstand between the corners of the frame rails and the jackstands on each corner. This will hold up you car and not crush the floor pan. I know as my car has been like that for a year now.
