front location for jack

[stevebutt16]

Sorry if this has been posted before, but i couldnt find it by searching.

 

Im about to change my wheels over and the only jack i have is the supplied emergency jack (not ideal I know). I cant seem to locate the proper mount point for the jack and the picture in the OM is not overly descriptive. I know i can basicly put it anywhere solid but i prefer to put it in the designed location. Does anyone happen to have a picture of where it goes? Not sure if its behind or in front of the cab mount or what...

Any flat spot on frame rail should be fine.

Thanks man but what im looking for is the "bracket" referenced in the OM.

That "bracket" is a cab mounting bracket on the frame....nothing special for jacking. Place the jack under the frame, behind the front tire, near the front cab mounting bracket.

Makes sense to me now. Thanks man.

I have seen many of the spare tire jacks bend and fold under the vehicle dropping it, not worth it!

 

At least use some blocks and crib the frame so if the jack shits the bed it doesn't kill you.
