In order to proceed with swapping out my fog lites, I need to raise the front end. I have a floor jack, but want to be sure if what I'm seeing under the front end is "OK" as a spot to lift the truck front end.
I'm seeing this black painted plate.......which I presume is the Simple Engineering front frame stiffening plate. It goes from the inner end of each A arm and appears to be heavy duty........however, near the center (back) of that plate, is about a foot long (wedge shaped piece) and it is bolted to the plate.
Not sure what that piece does, but I'm thinking it would not handle the weight of the truck without getting flattened out of shape. My target lift point which I'm hoping one of you with this piece can affirm would be to place the jack pad just forward of that wedge piece.
Appreciate some feedback, I did try to leave a phone msg with Mike, but not sure when he might get the msg.:|
