been using my floor jack under the lower control arm mounts for many years..some time back about 20 years ago I stuck a motorcycle kickstand plate (used under the kickstand when on hot asphault) on it and it has been there every since and works great..I have installed no less than 20 lifts using it.

You may want to crop your feet out of the pic so the OP doesn’t get “excited”

I use one of these old Applied Power Blackhawk bottle jacks. Works great. Just used the taller one the other day for a 5 tire rotation.

I have a floor jack and like to lift from under the spring perch, but the lifty thingy doesn't sit on the axle well at all and has slipped. I've only lifted it for tire rotations, but it's frightening.

What are you guys doing/using?

P.s. If you say a post lift or something similar I'm going to create an OF in your name and post feet pics.
at the rear of the front lower control arms there's a metal bracket extending under the frame. jack it from there and then put a jack stand under the frame itself.
