(See attached manual page)
The manual shows jack stand locations under the frame in front, just behind the front wheels. You'll need the tall, heavy-duty ("6-ton") kind to have enough length and adequate stability.
In the rear when you jack it up from the center of the diff (the normal jack point), you can then put jack stands under the axle tubes out near the wheels. Again, the manual shows this. You can also put jack stands under the frame in the rear ahead of the rear wheels if you need to have the axle drooping freely, ie. for suspension work.
Do not put jack stands in the front under the lower control arms near the wheels, for two reasons. (1) it stresses the lower ball joints in a way for which they are not designed, and (2), the bottom of the LCA slopes upward toward the center of the vehicle, risking the jack stand slipping out and dropping the vehicle suddenly.
