Default Location of two additional Jack Stands on a 1979 to prevent front end sag

Been using 4 Jack stands on the frame in front of the rear wheels and behind the front wheels. Would like to use another pair of stands near the front wheels to keep the front end from sagging. Where can they be positioned? Do not want them under the cross member as want access in that area. Would like a location that still enables turning the front wheels.

I usually put a set under the sway bar mounts.

On my '77, I remove the bumper from the lower control arm and place the stand support between the lower spring recess and the ball joint. Very secure and supports car as it would be if on the ground. mike...
