Default Emergency jack stand issue

Ok i know this has to be simple to put back into its slot under the hood but i can not for the life of me figure out how to put back in the jackstand, the square part that lifts, can anyone explain how it goes in or maybe the direction or pictures. thanks

If you have $20 and room for a 2-ton floorjack, i'd leave the stock jack in its rightful place for backup and let hydraulics make your life easier. Brakes, AT gear shifting, power steering, gotta love hydraulics.

If you're talking about putting the jack handle back there should be two black clips, one on the driver side and one on the passenger side across the radiator core support. It snaps right in there, no? I can imagine there is only 4 possibilities. Not exactly clear on what you're trying to say.

He's talking about the actual jack not the handle.

Okay. Square end faces front of truck, **** goes toward center of engine. Slight angle down towards the cab. Theres a slot in the fender well the base slides into, once its in, clamp er down until you cant anymore. Then youre good to go

Handle goes on top of radiator. Handle end wraps around coolant/washer resevoir.

The jack gets confusing. The handle on the other hand, if you cant figure thst out you shouldnt be driving
