Default Jack stand location for rear axle swap?

Are our trucks front heavy enough to put the jack stands by the trailing arm mounts?
I started putting mine at the back by hitch to frame mounts. I need to really block them up to allow enough height to get the axle in the air. I’m not too sure I like doing that.

Seeing that the frames on these things, up here, have frames with the strength of tissue paper...l'd locate jack stands in front of rear axle, just ahead of trailing arm frame mount. AND, leave a 3 ton floor jack under rear crossmember or transfer case.

I always set mine right under the radius arms mount. Any further forward/rearward and you get to heavy on the end. Tippy.
