I don't have the OEM style jack, & need to take off a front wheel.
Where should I put my floor jack to raise the front end??
I have a flat & need to take the tire off.
Doesn't look like the stock place is strong enough to do it without bending the lower
portion of the fender!!

Any help appreciated!!!

Honestly never thought about 1 side at a time { DOH!! } I raised it from the center as Death mentioned. I had less than 2 hrs to get it to the tire shop & back on!!

Thanks for the frame rail advice!! I started to do it from the stock location & saw the fender as it just started to push ugly!!
I wasn't sure if the control arm area was strong enough, but now I know!!

Thank You Death, njccmd2002, & stephen_lee
