I'm confused (nothing new there.) and maybe just dumb.
Jeep FSM and Haynes don't recommend jacking on the axle tubes. But you can't get the wheels off the ground jacking on the frame rail as they suggest. FSM sez to use a lift for axles. As soon as I win the lottery, I'll get one of those.
On the front of my '01 there's little room to jack on the outboard end of the front axle on driver's side and still get a jack stand under there. Should I put the jack under the lca's on the front? What about on the rear?
I know you see guys putting the jack everywhere, even on the punkin, but what is the best location for safe, secure, no-damage jacking of the axles?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I don't want to break anything while I'm wrenching.
