a pic of mine sitting on jacks 4 corners, in the rear on the frames just behind the torque boxes, in the front on the frames in front of the crossmember. have done it this way to several of my cars with no problems. btw - had a tow truck driver do the same thing to my car once tearing slots in the frames with the hooks -

It also depends on what you are jacking it up for.
I used to use 4 stands under the frame. Had a Dart up in the air. 2 on the front frame, 2 just in front of the torque boxes. Bumped the one of the rear ones with my shoulder while moving on a creeper. It was not loaded with weight and it moved off the frame. There I was under the car with 3 stands. Needless to say I place at least 2 under the suspension since that day.
Trucks flex quite a bit and they can take 4 stands on the frame.
