Stabalizing Jack Placement

That would probably work fine. Here is a pic of where ours are located, very similar to what you are saying...



Ours are factory installed.

My factory installed ones are basically on each corner of the box.

Be careful not to put the rear ones to far back, they will limit your ground clearance.

^^ This.

Mine are at the corners of the box (from the factory, welded). Not planning to move them, but if I were to do it myself, I'd put them half-ish way from the axle to the end of the box on both ends, pending anything that might interfere - entrance steps come to mind.

My factory stabs are also in each corner, screwed in. When they rusted solid, I unscrewed them and put in the next step up in Bal "C" jacks.

I concur about the rear jacks potentially creating a clearance problem, and my new jacks are about even with the drag points on the rear bumper - time will tell if that's an issue or not. The C jack needs a corner to install, versus the scissor which screws onto a single member... so I really had no choice unless I wanted to learn welding and install additional cross-member pieces.

I didn't permanently mount mine. That way I can put them in different places depending on the level of the ground.

I just went to a old style car junk yard and dug through the trunks of wrecked cars until I had 4 matching car scissor jacks. They charged me 5 bucks apiece.
