Jack points front and rear

[Challenger85]

I searched here and on the internet but can’t get a solid answer. I want to install the AEV spacer lift. Where do I Jack from in the front and rear? Admittedly I have not looked under the Jeep yet, was just wondering if there was an approved location.

Thanks. I watched a video and it seems everyone is using the differential housing. It has to be raised evenly so I can install stands.

In the rear, the differential is dead center, jack it up there, put jack stands in, lower.

The front you'll have to play around to find center. OR, if a neighbor has a floor jack you can borrow, then use two floor jacks.

I use a Hydraulic floor jack and have always jacked from the differentials. I then secure the Jeep on jack stands on the frame. I will typically also leave the jack under the differential (Barely touching), as another safety option/backup.

Thanks, yeah even the owners manual says to lift by axle tubes. Raising it up though to 18-20” I’d feel nervous jacking one side at a time. I have stands I plan on putting under the frame once it’s up high enough.

I even got really good ones and supported America ??

Is this what you guys due to rotate the tires too?

I've been paying to get tires rotated because I don't have the right jackstands for a vehicle this high. Changing a single tire is a different story

If you place the jack stand under the axle housing you'll not have to jack up the vehicle as high, as the suspension won't droop on you.

5 hours of research, setup and figuring it all out, removing the rear tires. Only to get under the Jeep and realize you can’t loosen the FUCKING CONTROL ARM BOLTS ? ?

Why not? Do you have an impact?
