Getting ready to replace the beam/front suspension in my Thing. Any recommendations for best jack stand points for the front end? I read a lot of people like to use the front beam as a floor jack point or for jack stands, clearly that won’t work if I’m taking it out.... thanks

I'd personally put a jack stand on each side within the divot where the body mates to the chassis.

Was thinking of running a 2x4 across the jack stands and placing it under the reinforcement plates, there the bolts are? Thoughts?

Thanks. I’ll have to climb back under tonight and locate the divots.
