Jackstand placement

Going to swap transmission and want a little more clearance. What do you guys think about placing jack stands under control arms?

If the control arm is going to meet the jackstand at anything but a 90* angle, bad juju.

Oil and filter change under the hood. No more jack or jackstands.
