Just me or does 'Jack Mode' suck?

Are you sure your suspension didn't sag when you lifted it from Entry mode? Even in Jack Mode, this want my experience, others reporting the same, suspension sags to full extension as the truck is lifted.
It sagged, but not to full extension. The ride height has nothing to do with how far the suspension compresses. Hitting a 3“ pothole at low ride height, has the same reaction. Suspension travel is the same at all ride heights.

I plan on doing a full tire rotation soon since I'm approaching 5K miles and I was out there messing with the truck and jack stands today just to make sure I have everything I need for the project.

I had the truck in 'medium' height and then engaged 'jack mode.'

My floor jack has a ~19-7/8 inch total jacking height and I'm using the 6-ton jack stands from harbor fright.

I'm a little put out on how the wheels have so much travel during jacking; has anyone come up with a simple standard operating procedure for getting the CT up on 4 jack stands efficiently? (interested in order of lifting as well utilizing the 4 jack points...)

I think I may try starting out with the ' high' height next time since all the travel seems to be there anyways.... maybe I need a floor jack with more throw?

Would be really cool if you could put the truck in extended jack mode... place the jack stands, and then have the wheels retract up for this operation!

Cheers/Thanks
I went the simple route, and just have a 9 inch or so wood block between my floor jack and the lift points, which gets the tires off the ground.

9 inches seems like a pretty big block. Got a lifting pic?
