Default Motor K-Member ok spot to jack up?

Just curious if it's alright to do this, imo this is the safest way for me to do it by myself everytime i try side to side it looks like its going to flip.
This just seems like a good way to jack up the front real high as well as using the differential to do the rear. Thanks guys.

screw you and your fancy lifts!

also block the tires with blocks and ALWAYS use jack stands just in cause the jack decides it wants a different carrer choice

Why stop there? Our one lift goes 12 ft and you can pull a truck under it with a car lifted. I still don't get why our shop needs it though.

Yeah people have said if you jack the rear differential do it so the cover is not being touched by the jack.

oh no i would put jack stands under the subframe after i jacked up the pumpkin. I've never put jackstands under the axle tubes lol imo that doesnt feel very safe to me.
