    Something I noticed in the picture is you have jack stands under the axle and not the frame? They should be under the frame so the jeep doesn't fall on you if the jacks fail. If there are not any jacks under the frame, and the jacks fail, the front axle will go back up and also forward, possible tipping the jack stands over and that's a disaster.

    But if you have jacks stands under the frame that aren't showing in the pix, never mind then.
    "Our Father;
    Who art in Moab,
    Four-wheeling be thy name.

    To thy trails we come,
    Thy maintenance be done,
    In garage
    As it is on trail.

    Give us this day our daily drive,
    And forgive us our trespasses,
    As we forgive those who trespass on us.

    Lead us not into illegal closures,
    But deliver us from Sierra Clubbers.

    For thine is the clearance,
    The articulation,
    And the traction forever.

    Amen"

    Yeah good call. Jacks can fail in an instant. Or worse slowly while you're not paying attention.

    I do have a jack stand on the passenger side and just put the other jack stand on the driver. thanks for the warning and i think you guys saved me big time because the jack was lower then it originally was.
