If the ride height is set per FFR specs you'll need a low profile jack to get it up in the air. On the front I use a two step process. Roll jack under left front corner of the 4" tube. Jack up enough to get an 8" block under the right 4" tube. Lower the jack and reposition dead center under the forward 4" cross member tube. Jack it up to the sky and put stands under the 4" tubes. On the rear just put the jack under the diff housing and raise it up. Jack stands at the ends of the 4" tubes. If you're trying to get all 4 wheels off the ground it may be helpful to slip some 2 X 8s under the rear tires FIRST before anything else. Otherwise you may find after the front is up that you don't have enough room under the fuel tank to move the jack handle.
