jack lift points
Where do you place a floor jack to put your truck on jack stands?
I have an '04 F350 CC 4x4 LB 6.0, and the manul says to never lift by the differential.
Is this bad due to the weight of the truck and damage to the pumpkin, or are they concerned about safety and tipping?

Well, most of us are probably using bottle jacks, and the jack points are fairly cut and dry if you look in the manual... I think it show you where to jack from. However, if you use those jack points, where do you place the jack stands?

beemr,
The jack is placed under the axle tubes, see pages 205 & 206 in your owners manual for pictures.
And yes the vehicle can slip off the jack or tip to one side if it is lifted by the pumpkin. Also when placing the jack under the pumpkin the lip on the cover can be damaged causing leaks.
Hope this helps
