DAT510 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I just lift it from the cross member and put jack stands on the frame rails. Quote Link to comment
FiveSeventyZee Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 same here. and I use the diff for the back with jack stands at the frame right before the rear control arms Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Never ever ever ever use the pinch weld, like on any car. There is always a better option. Well unless you know what you are doing/made a proper tool to jack there/use the factory jack where the owners manual says. Crossmember/Differential like said above. Quote Link to comment
Dat510_Chris Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 For jacking use crossmember in front and differential in the back. For back stands, where the crossmember is bolted on right in front of back tires For front Stands Quote Link to comment
