What's the jack point for front wheels?

[ym0bc1]

Front driver - I'll jack up the front diff and slide in the jack stands.

What about front passenger side? I found it quite awkward to keep jacking up the diff to lift the passenger wheel - because the driver side would be uncomfortably high. If jacking up the passenger side control arm bracket, there won't be enough room to slide in the jack stands.. Any tips?

Thanks

Pretty sure most people just use the axle—not a bracket on the housing but the housing itself. Go a little to the inside so the jack stands are as far to the outside as practical.

Although not intuitive or easy, I’m able to just barely slide a Jack stand in using the LCA bracket. I just use 3 Jack stands and the Jack when doing rotations anymore

I place a scrap 2x4 piece on the jack and go under the LCA bracket then place jack stands on axle.

The manual indicates lifting from the axle on both the front and back:

Front lifting point

Front jacking location

Page 296 of the manual. Granted this is for changing tires, so by sliding inboard a bit with the jack you should have enough room to place your jack stand under the axle as far outboard as you can without interfering with the movement of other components.

HTH.
