What's the recommended jacking procedure for jacking up the rear end of a 3rd Gen. Ford Explorer.
I plan on changing the front and rear brake pads and will start in the back. I have a floor jack and two jack stands. Is there a good rear center place to jack up to get both stands under each side at once? It doesn't seem like the rear diff. is a good place to jack from.
Is it safe to jack one side via the frame rail - place a jack stand - and then jack the other side with the opposite side resting on the placed jack stand?
Or I guess the third option is to just jack and work on and finish one side then lower and jack up the other side.
What methods do others here use?
Thanks
