Where do I place Jack Stands for Removing Front suspension

I am going to replace control arm bushing, Ball joints and do a disk brake conversion on my 69 C10. Exactly where do I place the jack stands for this project?

under the frame horns where the bumper mounts. if you are not changing the cross member you might be able to put them under it also.

Welding is a lot like sex, you don't have to be great with the rod as long as you thoroughly prep the surface and your good at grinding

Agreed.

If you only have two stands (like I did at one point), I put two under the frame horns and left the jack under the main crossmember for added security? It made me feel better, lol. Make sure to chock the rear tires to prevent any rolling and you should be good to go.
