    Running boards as a jack point? Do it.

    Whatever you choose, always wise to carry a nice 2"x6" by about 12" long piece of wood to throw under any type of jack. Especially OEM.

    You can store it behind the rear seats.

    Also like the previous owner “Slang” above...I have the “two step” up predator bars on my 3rd gen. So where would I put the Hi-Lift Jack when I need to replace wheels??

    Using 4” lift in front and 2” in the rear w/ 33”s

    You would need sliders to use it on the side of the truck.

    You need a larger than factory bottle jack.

    Those look tougher but they are still Just running boards. Don't try to jack off them.
