Probably a dumb question, but I'm going to ask anyway since the owners manual only mentions the jack under the rear axle tube for jacking up the rear end. After a long wet winter I'm finally going to install an Airlift 5000 kit and a Hellwig sway bar on my 2500. I bought a pair of 12k pound jack stands since I've never owned a vehicle this heavy and am intending to place them under the frame just forward of where the suspension connects. I will also need to be able to droop the rear end and move it up and down with a floor jack. Should I lift the axle one side at a time with factory jack or is it ok to just use the floor jack under the differential? I've done similar many times, but like I said this truck is heavy (and expensive) and I'd rather not damage anything. Stand location sound right from a balance perspective? I don't see any problems from a clearance or damage perspective. Like I said probably a simplistic question, but trying to get everything lined up for a smooth project. Thanks for any input
