Maybe its because its a 4x4, but mine are thicker than the frame. And I've dropped the frame onto a jack stand (was a crummy jack, no precision) these suckers could hold some weight. F150

For single wheel jacking, using a floor jack, I position the jack under the I-beam/radius arm bolt.
For front suspension work, the floor jack goes under the engine crossmember, and jack stands go on the forward frame horns. I've tried to put the jackstands to the rear of the radius arm bushings, but that seems to be a bit too close to the truck's CG
