I'm taking on the PML today and I'm following the DIY (http://www.clubxterra.org/forums/showthread.php?t=37167).

When I try to jack from the front diff, it only lifts the driver side and not the passenger side. Is it ok to lift more towards the center on the actual axle and not the pumpkin?

The front axles are NOT jack points. I put my jack under the crossmember up front. Right smack in the middle. No problems.

Do note that we aren't jacking as in lifting the vehicle off the ground, but just enough to relieve some tension and let the suspension droop a little bit...so the differential would be fine to raise from for this purpose.

I did update the How-To to say cross member instead of the front differential, though.

Squiz, how did the PML go for you?

Well I measured the bump stop gaps and they were already at 1.5". I'm not sure if the previous owned tried to level the truck or what.

The bump stops flatten. You measure 1.5" metal to metal.

Bump stop gap needs to be ~0.5 inches. There are also upper and lower bump stops, so make sure you are measuring the right one.

I wonder if I'm misremembering. I used two paint sticks taped together to measure... I'll check again when I get home today.

Duly noted.
