First, you need to chock your front wheels so the truck will not roll and then place your jack under the rear of your vehicle and jack it up until the rear tires are off the ground. Place your jack stands under the frame rails just forward of your rear tires and lower the jack so your frame is on the jack stands. This will keep the weight off the leaf springs and make it possible to move onto the next step.
