Jack location
Hey all,
I wanted to know where the best place is for the OEM jack. I changed my tire today and well the truck slipped forward and fell off the jack stand and jack! My thoughts are that I did not place the jack or jack stand in a secure place.
So I just want to know where would be the best place to put the jack.
I have a 2002 D 4x4 4.7L.

Yeah. I guess I just never wanted to put the extra strain on my 4x4 components.

The strain is pretty much non existent compared to the strain when using the 4wd to move the truck.
