Where do you jack up the truck. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I know this sounds like a stupid question but say I wanted to jack the truck up and put it on jack stands, in the front where would I put the jack and then the jackstand to hold up the truck? Truck is a 68 1/2 ton 4x2

Thanks

I either place the jack in the middle of the crossmember, or under the control arms( if i'm doing one side at a time). The jack stands either under the control arms, or on the frame, either under the radiator support, or under the front cab mounts.

I would use the front crossmember, but the truck is too low, and the jack won't fit under it!!! I NEED BAGS!!!

Jack it under the middle of the crossmember and put the jack stands under the lower control arm bolts (the top of the stands cradle it perfectly).
