Jackstand points

[mikej]

When I was recently jacking up my Jeep to swap wheels/tires, I wanted to use jackstands but could only find descriptions on how to do it. After I got things figured out, I snapped some pictures hope others can make use. I jacked it up with a jack under the pumpkin front and rear.

Any idea where to put the jack stands if you wanted to do a lift install? I've read some descriptions but haven't seen helpful pics like the ones you have above. Thanks!

Presumably you’d need to find the frame. @RogueKJ has a good video about his Mopar lift install. You might be able to glean jackstand points from his video.

I should have captured that better in the video. I basically supported the frame with stands, and used a combination of stands and a floor jack to move the axle up and down. It is easier to be able to move the axle when putting in the springs and shocks. If you have adjustable stands that you can move up and down with out pulling them out to adjust, that would be ideal.

Thanks @RogueKJ and @mikej !

If you pause at 3:41 of the @RogueKJ video above, it shows his jack stand supporting the frame just behind one of the lower control arms.

What kind of jack stands are these?

If you zoom on one of the pics looks like ESCO

I agree, I was surprised to see such nice stands in the post.

Some of the welds look cold but there's so many of them I wouldn't be concerned about failure.

Oh, sorry, I just saw this question.
