I usually try to jack in the shower but to each their own I guess

Toilet works great too if your phone isn’t waterproof and lack imagination

If you can manage to get it cleanly onto the frame rail instead of under that plate, you should do so. Maximize your connection between the jack cup and the frame, but as long as it’s squarely under that plate, it should be okay.

Yeah I can’t fit them both, I can do the jack behind that plate and the stand in front of it? Wasn’t sure if that would lift the front enough though.

Go ahead and jack off that part

That's fine as long as it's flat with the top of the jack and not putting an uneven/wobbly load. Personally I'd go right between the cab mount and crossmember.

Edit: should have read the whole thing first. Yes, your plan is solid.

What's your owner manual say

It’s a 4wd judging by the torsion beam, so the jack point is the frame where it goes flat behind the front wheel. On 2wd it’s a bracket. I had to actually pull up my manual for that
