That makes me think of another question. Is it acceptable to jack the truck with a jack under the rear gear housing? I have seen other vehicles where this is a definite NO-NO.That's just a rough estimate,as i've never actually measured the distance,lol. I know my 6 ton jackstands are pretty well maxed out in height though. You're right though,having to have the truck upshift into 2nd with the tires off the ground and the rear-end supported by jack stands is a bit shaky,make sure you block the front tires good so it can't vibrate off the stands.I even leave my floorjack under the pumpkin as an extra measure
