    I’m preparing for a family vacation up to Utah and was wondering since I have the black tubular step bars and they block the frame, is it safe to use those for a jack point if I had to change a flat tire? Or Do you guys recommend another place? Thx

    hopefully don’t have to worry but I’m trying to think ahead

    Nope, tube steps won't work generally speaking. Sliders will 'cause they're built (or should be) to support the weight of the truck. Tube steps are only built to support a couple hundred pounds.

    I suggest anywhere on the frame. I would not use the tubes unless you had no other choice.
