Jack Points?

I see the rail running front to back, but I've never seen a rail that was so... curvy. (I'm new to dentsides.)

In the front, there's a nice flat spot but there's a bolt sticking through right in the middle and the flat area is really short, so it's hard to fit both a jack + jack stand in that spot when raising it.

What jack points do folks use in the front and in the back? (This is for a 76 F100 4x2.)

In front, under the I beam where it meets the coil spring. Jack stands go under the frame.

In back, jack up either under the differential or the leaf spring plates.
