You position the jack on the pinch weld, jack up, put the jack stand right next to it and lower the jack onto the groove of the jack stand. They should be relatively close to each other (give or take the width of the jack stand. It is possible to move the jack forward a bit if you are worried the jack stand won't have enough room. Especially with the scissor jack (it's pretty narrow), you will have enough room side by side on the pinch weld for both the jack and the stand.
Would you mind telling me how you plan to rotate the ties? Are you going to jack up one side and then rotate each side front to back And back to front? Or, are going to cross them over to the other side of the truck diagonally? I’m never sure which way is best.
Yep. The subscription was like $75 for a 15 minute look at the manual and something like $3000 for a year. I passed on it and got the manual pdf and wiring diagram. A bit of a crappy pdf but it is the entire manual and wiring diagram. Just 13500 pages so it is a beast to search through but it, as I said, is the complete 2022 Maverick Manual
I am using a 3 ton racing jack so the lifting pad is larger but, as I said earlier, it is set up with a groove for the pinch welds. Same with my old jack stands. They were cast with both an anvil saddle and the pinch weld groove in the center so if it gets tippy the anvil will catch the rocker and keep the stand from flipping over.
Back in the day, yeah I know but hell I am getting to be a senior citizen (over 70 now), when I worked as a mechanic/technician at a local truck shop, we used Motor's Manuals. The owners had all of the manuals for all of the auto and manufacturers in a room next to the parts department. It was basically a break room, about 100 x 50 feet, and all but one area where the coffee table sat, were shelves and all of them had Motors or Factory Manuals for nearly everything. There was a Motors manual for Tucker and Kaiser-Fraiser, factory manuals for Diamond-Reo and even a couple of manuals for Ferguson before they merged with Massey.
You can try them but I wouldn't count on them staying solid. Since this truck is a unibody, pushing up in the center of it may just pull the sides together a bit, I am pretty sure that Ford wants the pinch weld used for a reason.can you explain how you get the truck up in the air in the first place? If I put a jack in any of the 4 spots you have shown me there is not enough room to place a jack stand.
On the underside there are spots I circled in red that should hold a jack stand if I use the pinch weld to jack the truck up. I just don't know which spots will work.
Seems like a logical place to me...
Thanks for the link, I see what you mean. I guess I may be stuck buying four of these (Powerbuilt 4000LB Unijack 620470) and using the specified pinch point. Disappointing.
