Default Jacking up a 150

Whats the best way to jack n stand my 2015 Larry?
Rear?
Front?
I have a 3.5 ton jack and stands.

I have the rears up by the universal and stands under the leaf spring mounts. OK?

Sorry I can't answer your question, but doesn't the manual cover this?

I jack the front from the cross member the runs under the engine, and the rear from the pumpkin. Place jackstands on the front frame rails and the rear under the axle.

Pumpkin? Differential? ; )
The rear is WAY light. Was up before I knew it.
Thanks!

UPDATE
This is just for the edification of the masses.
I started this thread because I'm new to "real" trucks and didn't want to screw up.

As it turns out, the F150 is easier to jack than most cars (especially unibodies). Just seek out the frame and jack away. You can also jack from the rear leaf spring perch or differential. Of course, universal rules for jacking apply.
I used a 3.5 ton floor jack and she went up effortlessly. I have a set of 3 ton stands which go under before I do.
