Under the shock mounts on the A-frames and under the leaf spring/shock mount plates. That keeps weight on the springs and keeps the load close to the tires--the normal position of the load when the car is on the ground. Putting them under the subframes (for long periods) and letting the springs sag causes, in my opinion, negative stresses on the body (unibody, in an F-car) as the suspension sags and gravity pulls down on the entire structure of the car. That can't be good for a unibody car.
