Hey sorry for the stupid question!
I’m getting my rims painted next week and want to put my Bronco up on jack stand for the week when they get painted.
All new to this but where is the best place to put the jack stands? Any videos or diagrams? I would think the wield seam and suspension are not the best place.
I have the 4 stands and 3 ton jack just don’t want to mess anything up.
Appreciate any help for a newbie

There are jack points on the frame labeled with an arrow. I don't have access to photos at the moment but there are a couple previous threads, try a search or check the owner manual. FYI, you'll need some pretty tall jack stands to actually get the front wheels off the ground. The rear you can support off the axle tubes.

The front area is marked by an arrow. It is kind of hard to see from certain angles but it’s basically right where the forward most body mount bolt is, right before the frame starts curving upwards. There’s plenty of meat to grab so don’t worry. Jack stands fit in nicely even when you have a jack with a big purchase.

I have always just lifted the rear by the diff (watch the lip of the diff cover but again there’s plenty of meat to grab). I put the stands right on the axle tubes. Been doing it this way with no issues on my Bronco and on every RWD vehicle I’ve ever owned.

Looking closely at the drawing,... I wonder if the site is confusing the Bronco with the Bronco Sport.
The site says they didn't receive info from the OEM in time for publishing. I'm not even sure that image is a Sport. It's a misleading placeholder.

When you say “watch the lip” you mean put the jack on the lip, or put the jack on the pumpkin but be careful not to engage the lip?

The factory jack is intended to work with a spacer to lift up at the front and lift without a spacer on the rear axle shaft.

Sorry I had a brain fart typing that (lot going on today lol). Didn’t mean oil pan I meant the diff cover lip. They’re just some stamped steel and it’s not uncommon to bend it if you accidentally grab it with the jack. Just stay forward of the diff cover and you’ll be fine
