How do you jack up the frame on 2670mk?
Going to upgrade suspension and need to put jack stands on the frame. What do you use to jack up frame especially on left side where gas line is next to frame and then still being able to put a jack stand on the frame.

I’m assuming a floor jack under the spring hanger would work.

I built some boxes out of 2 x 12 from a deck remodel, stacked two on top of one another and then added layers of single 2 x 12 with the final board next to the frame being a 2 x 4.
Ok this is where someone is going to disagree. I raised the landing gear as low as it would go (stopping occasionally) moved the boxes into position as close to the spring hangers as possible, then lowering the landing gear (stopping occasionally) until just above level. Placed another set of boxes and boards in front of the axels and then raised the landing gear until the frame was supported. IMO, that landing gear is capable of doing the heavy lifting as it already does that every time we unhook. Attached pictures will explain.
Go ahead and relocate the gas further inboard for future safety.2017 F-250 6.7 2019 273 MK

I'd love to disagree with you Skilletface but a lot of folks do just as you proposed. I had a valve hydraulic issue so I ended up having to use bottlejack resting on stacked 4x4s to put my Sumos on. Hydraulic issue is now fixed so if I ever take the plunge into disc brakes or moryde I'd do it the way you proposed.

I also had to relocate gas line and it's much easier that it seems at first glance.Jeff & Ally
