Does anyone know if it’s “ ok” to lift the front by using a floor jack under the LCA?

That's how I do it with a floor jack, should be fine. I prefer to lift on the frame with the Pro Eagle though.

here, on frf
yeah, you just have to make sure the jack is in the right spot. there isnt a whole lot of room for error. we have changed several tires this way offeoad so we dont have to deal with the droop of the suspension. makes it much quicker and easier. just have to be sure of jack placement

Yeah, just trying to get away from so much droop when rotating the tires

I used to, until I got an Eagle extension. Highly recommend.

I have the poor boys Badlands jack, which I love and a super low, expensive floor jack( I had a Porsche. I definitely need an extension for that Jack, thanks for the lead. I’ve never even looked in the owners manual about where to put the supplied jack for lifting, my guess is probably the LCA. I was interested in just a quick method for the short term. I always jack from frame and use 6T jack stands for anything where I’m gonna be under the vehicle.
