About to start installing a 4.5in lift doing front end first my jack only goes up to 16 inches and my jack stands are around the same maybe a little higher. Where is a good spot to jack and put the jack stands? I was thinking behind the Lower control arm but thought that might be a little too far back to stay stable? Anyone got some advice?

 

well i used the bottle jacks that came with the jeep lol and just stacked wood and then used the stands for safety and i used the unibody frame rail

 

from the front behind the bumper or behind the control arms?

 

behind the control arms

 

k thanks that is what I thought just wanted to make sure

 

I use a floor jack on the axle and stands on the frame rail behind the control arm. Plus lots of blocks, i use 8" x 12" x 16" laminated beam chunks.

 

I jacked mine up by the axles, then put jack stands on the frame, removed the tires and let the axles hang. that gave me enough droop to install my left kit.
