Jack placement

Read different answers on where to put jack on a 2019 189 when changing tire on a Pod. FR tech support sent me this e-mail answer.
"When changing a tire you will want to place the jack on the axle beam itself right behind the hub assembly."

That does not sound right. Best practice is to never lift using direct contact with a torsion axle.

There is about 90" of axle beam with no torsion components which are only on the ends. I think that is where they want us to put the jack on this beam as close to the hub without touching any torsion parts.
