I made a perch for my bottle jack just like the one below the spring pack. Then jack between the U bolts. Or use my home made trailer aid. Glad to see some others do the same. Jacking the frame is much more dangerous & my owners manual doesn’t have a section on jacking.
jacking the frame is dangerous. figure its 2ft from grade, think of all that leverage on the jack, blocking etc.
Always lift the axel/axels, support by the frame at those loacations by jack stands or wood blocking (cribbing) etc, remove tires then allow suspension to relax if need be. never remove both tires on 1 side and not have a stand or blocking of some sort. Do not rely on the jack to save your life.
