Jacking it up
Basic question here... I'm getting ready to go out and do the brakes on the car, and I now have a jack that will actually get all the way under the front end! So, I'm assuming I can jack the front end up under the cross member, but is there a safe single point at the rear where I can place the jack? The diff housing looks a little delicate...
Somebody stop me before I eff something up!

+3 but I also use a custom grooved 2x4 to spread the load and to save my pinch rails.

If you have the rear ladder brace, you can jack it up there. i typically put my jack stands at the farthest rear portion of the frame rails. It has a nice flat and smooth place to rest on the stand.
Won't that tear your mirror off?
+1 for jacking from the side.+3 but I also use a custom grooved 2x4 to spread the load and to save my pinch rails.

On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

I use the diff for the rear and the cross brace for the front.
Thanks for the tips! Front brakes are done... now lunch break... then back brakes.
