Put 1 under each control arm in the front, basically at the bottom of the strut. Put the other 2 under the trailing arms for the rear suspension. Basically you want to keep the tires off of the ground to keep them from flat spotting, but at the same time you don't want to unload the suspension and let it sit like that all winter which is very hard on it. Trust me, definitely do this to avoid flat spots. I have 2 other cars I park for winter, and after I did not use jack stands and my very soft Kuhmo tires flat spotted, I will do it to every car I park from now on. Mild flat spots will go away, but I had a set of tires that I had to replace because of letting it sit all winter.
