PSA on squeaky rear end

Jack the truck up by the diff - put jackstands toward the rear of the frame, take rear wheels off, slowly let jack down until full droop. If you can't get the jack out under the diff, your jackstands aren't high enough.

Ok so jack each side up separately from the frame, place jackstands.

It`s nice to see some good old fashioned sarcasm with some real answer inserted along the line. Having 2 older brothers growing up was the best/worst of times. I would not have it any other way. I still remember my first " This is how you check for spark" lesson on our mini bike, my brother yanked that rope so hard it definitely created a bond between the coil wire and myself.
Hard lesson to be learned at 5 years old

great replies !!! oh and re droop , jack at the hitch

Or that if you have a jack that goes high enough.
