Question About Jack Points and Stands
#21
Does anyone else have updates on what they've done for jacking points? It appears the current best practice is to use the front jacking point and lift it enough to add a jackstand at the rear for safety? Any new wisdom/easier methods?
I need to rotate my tires soon, and always prefer having a jack stand under there somewhere in addition to the jack.

I just used a regular floor jack to lift each wheel up separately when I installed the winter tires. I used the the sill jack points but added a rubber cushion to avoid damaging the jack points. These:

I could be interpreting it way off though.

Maybe they are worried about the vehicle toppling sideways if the two sides don't lift or lower evenly. I don't know why that would be a problem with a 4 post lift though.

Somewhere along the lines of assuming some dummy is going to be in the truck while it's lifted and then opening a door(s) would fork up the balance? Maybe traverse would be better at preventing roll in that situation? Idk.

It wouldn't be different front to back though if something failed on a 4 post lift.
