Hello everyone, I have been searching for info on jacking points and most people suggest the axles for the jack and the stands, but if I am installing spacers on the front and an add a leaf on the rear don't I need the jack stands to hold the Jeep elsewhere and let the axles hang?

Also, for a 2 inch budget boost like mine and 31 inch tires, how high of a lift do I need from a floor jack and jack stands to be able to rotate my own tires?

I don't have a jack or stands yet, probably going to order some from Harbor Freight but opinions/suggestions are welcome. Thanks guys.

 

get the harbor freight jack and stands and then just use a two by four or applicable peice of wood between the jack and the frame rails and then put the stands under the frame with some wood or not....and install away.

 

x2 frame i have a couple 4x4 post nubs I use

 

jack it up by the axles then place jack stands under frame rails and do each half at a time. remember to chalk the tires on the side you are not working on so your jeep don't roll and give it a little shack before getting under it. if it dont look stable reset the stands and try again. don't want to be pulling and tugging on stuff and have your jeep fall on you.

 

putting your tires under is a good idea too I always do that or if you have a couple old rims kicking around it ain't a bad idea to chuck those under... its better then getting crushed
