You know, looking at the second front end picture closer I think I'll
take the "properly" part back. It appears that the jack stands
themselves are about 7.5 inches up on some wooden cribbing made out of
2x4s. I don't know how much I'd trust a setup like that, knowing how
soft 2x4s can be.

Re: Front U-joints
 

The 2x4 setup is not the best (base should be wider) but still MUCH
better than the concrete block trick.

I popped for the 6 ton jack stands that go to 24". You don't need the
weight capacity for the jeep but the frame is so high up you need the
extra height. $18 a pair seemed like a fine price.
