I remember seeing a thread on this very subject but I can't find it. I want to flip my rear wheels to get a little more room for the draw bars and wanted to know the proper place to position the jack. Also any tips and/or advice is always welcome.

Right on the Drawbar Bracket (bracket the draw bar slides in to) and don't forget to put jackstands under both axles.
Have a friend handy, especially if those tires are filled. Those extra hands can be a big help!
Some folks like to raise the tire high enough to use a jack under the tire (to help position it). I don't...I prefer to have the tire jacked just high enough to clear the floor. An eighth to a quarter inch is quite sufficient.
