3rd Gen Jacking points......

I bought a 2 1/4 ton floor jack and I just wanted to find out where they main jacking points are on my truck are. I know under the rear diff and axle will work. For the front I have heard the front crossmember. Just to make sure the front crossmember runs right along the steering rack but more towards the front. Is it necessary to take the skid plate off when jacking on it? Any other considerations when jacking?

I was just out testing it and it seems like the skid plate bows pretty good when jacking (up against the steering rack), is this normal?

Nolan,

Here ya go, bud:



The only one that I'm leery about is the front one under the skid plate.
