jack point locations front and back

Hello folks - just trying to make sure I know where Ford says to place the jack when changing a tire - this is for a 2025 F-350 SRW. I went to the "online" owner's manual and the pictures are just grey computer-generated ones, and not real photo's - and not well labeled either, so you know what you are looking at. Does anyone have this information with pictures so it's clear? Thanks

I use front of the control arms, and the rear pumpkin, when rotating tires. Usually with some soft wood on my jack. Stands under the axle tubes.

The lifting points on the frame, are for lifting. Not really useful for tires and brakes, in the driveway.

What type of jack are you planning on using, a floor jack or the factory supplied bottle jack? The lift points for the factory supplied bottle jack are on the outer ends of the axles. On the rear place the jack between the spring shackle mount. The front on the pumpkin side will be obvious as there is only one spot the jack will fit. Mirror on the other side. It will make sense when you get underneath the truck. I used the factory bottle jack all the time in my previous F350 SRW to swap back and forth between regular and snow tires.

From a previous manual.

Rear placement closest to tire directly on axle.

If using a floor jack with a saddle, I recommend the differential housing front and rear, and somewhere close to the control arm mount on the other side of the front axle. As mentioned above, jack stands as far out on the axle tubes as you can get them.
