Where would you put the jack without wrecking the truck when you lift it?

well you have few options keep it close to the frame near the bumper mount bolts would be the strongest and on the hitch if equped.

I use the wheel grabbers to lift the truck. If the jack is too close to the frame I put a wood block between the top of the tire and jack to leverage it out crooked.

I also grab the rear hitch with a chain wrapped around my pintle reciever.

I've never needed to jack from the bumpers or anything. If I just need the chassis up, for repairs, and not the tires off the ground, I'll just use a bottle jack and wood blocks under the frame.
