I typically put the jackstands about 2" aft of that bend on the front
framerailsand put the jack just behind that point (roughly where the cab mount
is) for lifting. In the back, if I don't need the suspension fully relaxed,
I'll jack the truck under the pumpkin and put the stands under the axle right
by the spring mounts. If I do need the suspension at full droop, I'll put the
stands on the rails just in front of the front spring hangers and jack from in
front of that.
