Hey all,

Quick question, I have a 2013 crew cab z71 4x4 with the 5.3L. I was wondering what crossbeam I should be using to jack up the front end so that both tires come up at the same and then i can get my jacks behind the tires on the frame. The first two oil changes i've used the crossbeam closest to the bumper in the picture with the arrow pointing to it. I just wanted to confirm this is the one I should use and not the other one behind it( green arrow). Thanks!

Red arrow crossmember, place jack stands on both sides. Boom done.

Quicker and easier to jack up the whole front. Now I see why some people don't like changing wheels in the winter, if you have to jack up each side separate it doubles the time.

Also works great when you're installing front end parts :)
