Jack points

[JoeMongo]

I just looked. Unfortunately, it doesn't contain information on front and rear jack points. It only points out to the jack points at the corners. I'm looking for front and rear jack points to make it easier when changing out wheel sets.

Page 590 of the OM is one of the places that shows the jacking points for doing things like changing tires.

The stock Hi-Lift jack is no where close to fitting in those lift points under the rear bumper.

I think it's the rear lower control arm mount. The shock mount is closer to the wheel. This mount is attached to the axle. It just doesn't look like the thin metal in that spot is designed to carry that kind of load. And now I am freaking out trying to determine if it's crooked. I cannot tell really.

While driving, a control arm is handling the entire weight of the vehicle in multiple different directions. If the bracket is strong enough to withstand that, it's more than capable of being used as a lift point.

This is from the owners manual page 518.

Has anyone ever used a set of Quickjacks? I've seen posts and pictures online for 3rd generation, but not 4th. They show the rear-most points along the frame rail; I am concerned about balance since the 4th gen jack points from the owners manual have them on the rear axle.

Always go with front cross-member only (diff if you can get to it), frame only or rear axle.

Anything else is asking for trouble. And get wood blocks cut out for not only wheels on jack but to reach frame.
