I have decided to do my own oil and lube on my new Av.
Went out and bought a floor jack and 4 stands. My question is where's a good place for the stands and how high should I set them. The jack is good for 3-1/2 T and the stand 3 T. I't difficult to find a good spot for the jack in the front, the skid plate is in the way so I went in the center of the plate at the rear bolt. Seems like it is a solid point. Like a dummy I set the floor stands at one notch below the top and when I let the truck down it seemed a little shaky Then I couldn't get the stands out because the jack wouldn't go high enough again. A piece of 4x4 solved that problem. I am wondering if any of the more experienced guys have any suggestions
Thanks in advance
