This is sitting in front of me while I'm eating breakfast

Get this while your at it too.

HAHA I meant it more that when your jeep is lifted, no need to raise it up for an oil change :rofl:

anybody have a picture of this 'sweet spot'? is it on the tube as close to the pumpkin as you can get?

It's great you asked.

Here's a story of how dumb I was at 17:
Needed to jack up one side of El Camino. Work had some cinder blocks. I placed a cinder block under one side, HOLES HORIZONTAL, rested the weight of the vehicle on the block and crawled under. An old timer from work pulled up next to me and said, "Those blocks are designed to hold the weight with the holes up." I thanked him and lifted the weight to find the block crumbled. Thanked my lucky stars.

Moral: Good jack and jack stands, always.

No pic needed. Just to the passenger side of the differential.

i have a good floor jack and stands, just want to double check the front jacking point. i've seen guys lift from the front pumpkin but have read threads that say to the left (center) of the pumpkin

so not on the pumpkin but on the tube just to the passenger side of the diff?

Yep.

and then stands right behind the control arms on the frame?

I'd wait for confirmation from a more experienced member on that. I put mine on the axle tubes right where lower control arms attached. Seems to sit nicely and I haven't noticed any damage.

Are you trying to obtain an axle droop? Then yes on the frame

no droop needed

Ok cool. Let's wait to see if I'm tempting fate again and hopefully the smart guys on here tell us whats up

That's exactly what I do. Stands on the axle where the LCAs attach or the frame rails behind the front wheels if I need the front suspension unloaded.

Here's where I jack mine, picks up both sides evenly.
