OK, I'll throw in my 5 cents worth. Before the Level-UP system, to change a tire I put a bottle jack under the spring pad of the wheel that needed to be changed, takes very little lift to get the tire off the ground vs 4 to 8 inches lifting the frame. Hitting a pot hole or just going over a speed bump will put more deflection to the suspension than in inch or so to get the tire off the ground. Now I would NOT put a jack on the axle tube, that is a no-no. To each their own.
