Sorry for the n00bish question but where does everyone place jack stands on their KJ?

I bought a 2 ton hydraulic jack and jack stands today to make it a little easier to do my own oil changes ($35 @ O'Rielly auto parts!). I have the heavier I think it's 1/4" engine skid, over the stock; and lifted it up in the center with the jack then slipped the jack stands under the scissor jack lift points at the bottom of the A Arms. But it was kinda a snug fit.

Kinda sucks the way the oil filter drips all over the edge of the tranny skid on the CRD.

Depends on what I am doing where I put them, if a lift then the notch back on the frame rail works best but some skids do get in the way.

What you need to do is lift it, no more jacking it up, roll under on the creeper and done in a few minutes! :wink:
