How to jack up a 2004 dodge ram 1500 quad cab?

place jack under vehicle just to the rear of the front tire's. Jack vehicle up using the frame of the vehicle. *Important* place jack stands under vehicle. I place them under the lower control arm's or on the frame (be sure to use stands that will support the weight of your vehicle). if unsure of the weight, there should be a vehicle identification tag on the driver's door jam that will tell you GVW (gross vehicle weight) on most vehicles. In the rear (if rear wheel drive) jack vehicle up by using the rear differential. When looking under the vehicle it will be the mass of iron centerly located between the rear tires. Again *Important* Use jack stands to support load of vehicle. place jack stands on the rear axle tube's and there u go!!

Why should jack handles be left in the upright position when a vehicle is lifted?

Jack handles should be left in the upright position when a vehicle is lifted to ensure safety and stability. This position helps prevent accidental disengagement of the jack, reduces the risk of the vehicle falling, and allows for easier access to the jack mechanism if adjustments are needed. Additionally, it serves as a visual indication that the vehicle is elevated, alerting others to exercise caution around the lifted vehicle.
