Yah, that would make more sense haha.

I just jack by the point on the frame closest to the wheel I want up. If I'm changing wheels, I jack up the rear axle under the pumpkin.

I think he is asking for the jacking points.

aaron7; You should never jack under the pumpkin itself. This can cause the axle tubes to loosen where they enter the pumpkin.

I've never heard of axle tubes loosening up. Jacking it up in the center is commonplace... if your axle tubes are falling off you have other issues!

I have never seen an axle tube fall off either. All I am doing is passing on information that I obtained from my fathers mechanic training manual that he got from Dodge about 40 years ago.
