RE: jack

I put my jack on the subframe just before it bends up. I also put it under the aframe. got to be careful anywhere you put it.

RE: jack

I put mine under the front floor support. I've never had a problem. When I want the whole front up in the air, I chock the rear wheels, get a 4x4 piece of lumber and put it on my 3 ton jack under the front radiator support(between the 2 strut rod mountings) and jack away(placing jackstands underneath afterwards of course).
