Floor jack location?
Floor jack location?
Is there a solid front central location that I could place a floor jack to lift up the front end at one time instead of lifting each individual front corner separately?
I looked for one on my '10 FX4 but could not see any just wondering if I overlooked it?
thx.

F1,
Just to clarify my question is with respect to the placement of the hydralic floor jack and not the placement of the floor stands.
Bluejay,
I used my brothers 2.5 ton floor jack and lifted the rear from the axle and each front corner was raised from its individual frame rail. When I was done and lowered the truck back on the ground I noticed hydralic fluid leaking from the jack. My brother doesn't recall it leaking before he let me borrow it so you are probably right about needing a "pretty strong jack" .

I have a 3 1/2 ton and I would not want to do the whole front at once. I do one side at a time, and use jack stands. My old 1954 has a cross member where you can lift the whole front, but it doesn't weigh close to what the 2005 weighs.
