The suspension has a lot of give to it. It takes a good bit of jacking to completely unload the springs and start lifting a tire off the ground. If it runs out of jack before it gets off the ground then a person would need some cribbing to go under the jack. If I was to add something under it, Id go with some short 2 X 12 lumber pieces to help stabilize the jack on soft ground. Jacking can be a dangerous task so choose your supports carefully.
