Where to Place Jacks When Installing a Trailer Hitch on a 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan
Question:
Do you have something that can show me or illustrate where to place a 3 ton jack and the jack stands when installing the receiver hitch?

I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan and on page 305 it states that the rear jack location is located between a pair of down-facing tabs that are on the sill flange of the vehicle side of the body. I recommend checking your copy of the owner's manual to verify this.
Since the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75579 installs behind your rear tires this jack location will not interfere with the installation process. You may consider using a ramp set like part # FT11909MI which has a platform that sits 6-3/4" tall to give you the extra room that you need. These are also very helpful for other applications like changing the oil on your vehicle as well. Just be sure to chock the wheels on the other end of your vehicle with something like part # FT11930MI prior to working on your Grand Caravan.
Let me know what you plan on using the trailer hitch for and I can make additional recommendations as necessary.
