Rear jack point
Where do you jack first before jack stands are placed at rear rubber jack points?
If jack rear differential, isn't there any stress?

And the front is a rectangular rubber pad about three feet in!
I have a Safe-T-Jack that has integrated jack stands that works very well. I bought it for my F-250 Diesel...
