Most of the conversation in this thread has been about ridewell suspension coachesMost of the time I do not use a jack. I lift the coach as high as the air springs will go and place large pieces of pipe cut to fit under the coach. The front of the coach has a frame rail on each side of the generator with a tow hook on each. I put the pipe under those rails. The rear has some framing on each side behind the tag mudflap. I put the pipe under that. That works on hard surfaces but I have to put something under the pipe on dirt or grass.
I use the jack when a tire has to come off but rarely otherwise. I am small enough to fit and nimble enough to crawl through the suspension. Here's a photo of me using the white pipe while working on my last coach. The pipe is 5 1/2" Diameter X 3/8" Thick. Length is 10 1/2" for the rear and 13 1/2" for the front.
Thank you Jim. Would my 22Ton OTC Jack stands work in the same location as you have the pipes?
