There are times when I hesitate to read GMCnet posts. Seems like I can't sit down and read new posts without adding things that cost money to my want list. Most recently I've added a combiner and a water/fuel separator to the list. But it's an addiction/cult that I can't seem to pull myself away from.
In any case, I've only had this coach since December, and only driven it about 350 miles. I didn't like the handling or the look of the front end, so I bought a set of front wheel spacers, and now I need to install them. Have never jacked it up, don't have a jack, but I do have a bunch of questions:
What kind of jack: From previous posts I liked the looks of this 4-ton bottle jack, but I can't find one locally, and adding $20 shipping to a $30 jack is a bit obnoxious. Suggestions? Do I really need one that is as low profile as this one?

Where to put the jack: I understand from previous threads it's important to jack up both sides evenly to avoid cracking the windshield, but I crawled under and couldn't see any obvious and safe-looking place to put the jacks. Also couldn't find anything in the manual. Any pictures on the net on exactly where to put the jacks?
I'm assuming that after jacking up with the hydraulic jack, I'll want to put jack stands under and let the coach back down onto the stands. Right? So same question, where to I put the stands?
