Hello everyone, I have a 2015 Dodge Ram I recently purchased. It is lifted and trucks are brand new to me. I need to lift the front end with a floor Jack and place some Jack stands but I’m having trouble and can’t find the information anywhere. Could somebody please let me know where to place the floor Jack to lift the truck and where to place the Jack stands. Thank you very much to anyone that can help! 🙏

 

Put your jack in the middle of the drop bracket for the lower control arms, lift the whole front end at once. Place the jack stands under where the lower control arms bolt to the bracket. Make sure to set them in such a way that they will STAY PUT. You don't want the truck falling on you. That would really suck.

 

I’m a newbie to DIY and have been learning a lot. Just changed brakes on my other car but I have no idea what your terminology means. I’m sorry!

what is the drop bucket for the lower control arms? I’m also not sure what is the lower control arms. Is there a possibility to take my image and circle it then re-upload?

thank you so much for your help, but I’m so confused.

 

Drop Bracket. Its the part that says "Fabtech" on it. That ain't stock, it's part of your lift.

The control arms are those aluminum fellers bolted to the drop bracket, and go out to the knuckle. (on the bottom.) The strut, and sway bar are also both attached to it.

Got any pics of the whole truck? Looks like someone spent some serious coin modifying it.

Really appreciate your help! It has helped me so much. Here are some more pictures of the truck. I bought it as is except for the tires. That’s the only thing I’ve actually replaced, otherwise I’m new to the truck world and still learning as I go. You think a lot of money was spent on this thing?

 

Nice lookin' truck. What size tires?? For the amount of lift you have, it sure doesn't look like it sits as tall as I think it should. But, that may just be the pics.

Lift kits of IFS (independent front suspension) trucks are not inexpensive. In the neighborhood of 1500 to 2000 for the 4 inch it looks like you have.

I might have been tempted to go with more aggressive tires. But, that's just me.

 

I really didn’t know what I was doing haha. But learning now. I got 35inch all terrain tires by Yokohama.

 

Ok, that explains the look. The tires are actually 'right sized' for the lift.

Any idea what gears are in the axles??

 

have no idea. How could I check?
