Same here! IMO, the front is a little harder to find a good cental location. At least on mine with the skid plate in there.

either way i would of been screwed. i think it would of been a little scarier if the jack was under the differential and the handle came out.

That happened to me once. I put a tire iron in the handle socket on the jack and was able to get it back in postion to re-insert the jack handle. Made sure the screw was tight after that
