I have pics in my signature below of my trucks on the lift. Also since you are going to use it for your truck I would recomend getting risers that go on the pads of the lift arms. You need them especially if you have running boards. You can use blocks of wood but these trucks are heavy and can slip on the boards.
Thanks Guys for your imput, I have been told about trucks falling of lifts.So what it all comes down to is :center point, proper lift blocks, and a good 4x4 support.

Thanks again Plumber
