Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Hoist, Twin-Post
Damage to the suspension or steering linkage system components can occur when positioning the hoist adapters. The front adapter pads should be positioned carefully to ensure maximum contact under the center of the lower suspension arms or spring supports as near the wheels as practical. The rear suspension hoist adapters (forks) should be placed under the spring mounting pads or the rear axle housing tubes, but the adapters must not interfere with the shock absorber mounting brackets or the stabilizer bar mounting brackets.
Adapters may be necessary to clear any vehicle components (front and rear) to lift the vehicle safely. This will provide enough clearance to prevent damaging the lower body.
