My bad, I had a typo, it was $1300 lol. Yeah it was very quick, guy messaged me yesterday from a state over and came to grab it today. He didn't even run it or test drive or anything. We just talked for a few and he made the sure the frame was solid. Took care of paperwork and he drove off!- JPVortex

that’s for sure. Previous owner didn’t tell me any of this. I knew about rocker rust but none of the rest. Just finished selling it, got $1309 for it. Not much but enough to let the piece of crap go.- JPVortex

02 Suburban Rear Jacking
With all this being said, I may not do anything about it, possibly selling the truck tomorrow. I've pretty much worn myself out on it, and most Chevy's to be honest. Previous owner took a lack of care of the truck and it's just a living nightmare with the lifter tick, extreme rear rocker rust...- JPVortex

Yeah, they definitely are original, and seems like the pistons are sticking. When I got the truck the brake fluid as nasty, when I did all 5 of the soft lines I flushed it as I bled until the fluid was clear, so it's all new fluid, but clearly it was too late. The brake grease I've used is the...- JPVortex

Will do, I appreciate it. Little update, put the jackstands under the sway bar on a part that was right under the axle tubes and it worked great! No tipping and feels super solid. Was doing rear brakes, got them done and sadly one of the calipers is sticking bad and boy that smelled bad. Pads...- JPVortex

Great, thank you so much! You're a great help. I think I'll go the Daytona route, they seem like very solid jacks.- JPVortex

Perfect, I appreciate all the help and currently researching on which jack I want to go with for a higher lift on an SUV. Got any recommendations?- JPVortex

02 Suburban Rear Jacking
thanks! There sadly wasn’t enough axle tube space, but putting the jack stand on the sway bar where it is in the picture would be okay? The axle tube is literally right above it. And good to know about the bushing brackets, would make sense, as they’re attached to the axle.- JPVortex

Ok I got it securely put on jackstands on the frame. I backed the truck into a different spot in my driveway and the jack actually rolled a little bit(i checked the casters and they all move fine). The jackstands still gave a little tilt when they first came down but they straightened out and...- JPVortex

Is this what you meant last night? You can see the sway bar is in the way but it’s right directly below the mounts which are attached to the rear axle.- JPVortex

Thank you, I appreciate the concern. I try to be as safe as possible. Everytime a wheel is off it goes right under the frame rail in case of complete jack stand failure. I always try to make sure that there’s blocks in the most prevent direction where it could move, because the area it’s at is...- JPVortex

With that being said I’d prefer to not have the jack stand saddles touching the sway bar at all, so I’ll try out the spots near the pumpkin and at the end of the axle tubes. Thanks!- JPVortex

Ok got it, so as long as the sway bar is right below the axle tubes I can put it there. ground is the most level part of the driveway that there is. Yes there is blocks in the front of the front tires, I don’t see the need to have them in the rear of the front tires. I’m jacking the rear up so...- JPVortex

02 Suburban Rear Jacking
Does he mean literally, if there's a point in the axle tube where the sway bar is literally flat against the axle tube, I can put the jackstand underneath there, so the axle tube will still hold the weight even though the sway bar is just "sitting there"? Thats what I get out of it, if that's...- JPVortex

No offense taken, its something I struggle with. Im an extreme vision learner, don't do as well with learning based off of text, and have a hard time putting all the details together sometimes just by reading it. Just by reading to me "setting the stands under the sway bar or the brackets, will...- JPVortex

New jack is already in the workings. So what you're saying is if the sway bar is directly below the axle tube, I can just go ahead and put the stands right below the sway bar, because the axle tube will take the brunt of the weight? That just feels a little sketchy to me. The sway bar is also...- JPVortex

Yeah there's just no way to get the jack stands where they need to go. Only reason I went under is because the jack was supporting it as well as the stands. Will lube the wheels, what do I do, just smother a ton of grease all over them and roll them? They still swivel just don't roll like they...- JPVortex

02 Suburban Rear Jacking
Oh so are you saying that I should try to get the jackstands to grab the entire diff area and not just the small circular area I put it on? The area I put the stands is a bracket that comes out of the differential where the sway bar brackets go. Can’t go right on the axle tube because the sway...- JPVortex

No matter which way I put the jackstands I can’t seem to get it to a great spot. By rounded part of the saddle do you mean on the jackstands? I don’t think they’re curved enough to really grab it super well.- JPVortex

Upon research, seems like that’s more for vehicles with rubber rear differential bushings. These rear ends are pretty solidly mounted, on the Tahoes and Burbans with the rear sway bar links and pretty thick shock bolts.- JPVortex

Appreciate it! Would the jack missing the circle plate lead to it not rolling either? It’s missing the top plate. Threads stripped out on it when I pulled a transmission with it. I had pulled the plate out and stuck a transmission jack adapter that galled the threads up. Works just fine without...- JPVortex
