lot made for 4x4's out by the Ozarks. =(

Any idea where I can get it "recoated"? Thanks...

A rubbery/sticky goo? Just grab a spray can of rubberized undercoating (or truck bed liner) at AutoZone....it's nasty stuff, but it does the trick. Good luck

I'll get working on it sometime this summer and place my jack stands in the spots you stated above, hehehe.

For lifting, I use the flat spot (that's sorta deformed in your pic), BUT I place a small piece of plywood on top of my lift pad. It helps to prevent that are from getting deformed.

I use various places for the stands, where you indicate is an excellent choice, as is where MB suggests on the factory DTS mounting locations.

Is it where those little rubber circular pads cover up the holes or somewhere else? Thanks.

I use a flattop floor jack to lift there and then put the jack stands where the DTS go. The dealer uses these pads with a lift too, because the surface area is greater to distribute the weight better.

Ok, I know there is a similar one up front. However, when I jack the front I won't be able to use the DTS area since I will be installing the DTS. ;-)

I got a chunk taken out earlier this week driving into a parking lot made for 4x4's out by the Ozarks. =( Any idea where I can get it "recoated"?

Ok, I know there is a similar one up front. However, when I jack the front I won't be able to use the DTS area since I will be installing the DTS. ;-) __________________
