For those of you that use a jack? Where do you jack your vehicle up in the front? I'm looking at replacing my front rotors and would like to do them at the same time.

There is an area, along the frame, right around where the front fender meets the door.

Don't use the rocker panels, you'll crush them, go farther underneath.

I just jack straight on the frame, throw a jack stand under it and lower it down. Swing the jack to the other side and do the same.

Thanks guys. My parts just arrived today. I tried that support in the front of the vehicle (cross member where the core support is) and I was afraid of it bending.... Been doing it that way for a while, but didn't know if I was doing it the right way
