Does anyone know what the correct jacking point is on the front?

Rich,
I've decided that the correct jacking point for me, is up the road a couple of miles, at the closest tire/lube shop. I determined that after I had purchased a heavy jack and a couple of heavy stands. When I couldn't even get them under the coach (bad starter), I packed them back up and returned them to the store.
I don't know if the Lexa chassis is similar to the Magna, but when I had my new tires put on, I think they put the front jacks roughly 8" to 12" inboard from the tires. I didn't look any closer than that, and I'm not sure they were in the "correct" place.

The best jacking point is where the shock attaches to the lower A arm. I've been able to get a bottle jack under there and lift one side at a time.

Mike, the question was for the tire dealer, not for me to jack. Not all of them know what they are doing in this context. I am looking for more precise information such as "on the inboard end of the control arm", or something like that.
