Vehicle Lifting: Service and Repair
Lift and Support Points
NOTE: If you are going to remove heavy components such as suspension or the fuel tank from the rear of the vehicle, first support the front of the vehicle with tall safety stands. When substantial weight is removed from the rear of the vehicle, the center of gravity can change causing the vehicle to tip forward on the hoist.
Frame Hoist
1. Position the hoist lift blocks (A) under the vehicle's front support points (B) and rear support points (C).
2. Raise the hoist a few inches, and rock the vehicle gently to be sure it is firmly supported.
3. Raise the hoist to full height, and inspect the lift points (B and C) for solid contact with the lift blocks.
Safety Stands
To support the vehicle on safety stands, use the same support points (B and C) as for a frame hoist. Always use safety stands when working on or under any vehicle that is supported only by a jack.
Floor Jack
1. When lifting the front of the vehicle, set the parking brake. When lifting the rear of the vehicle, put the shift lever in reverse.
2. Block the wheels that are not being lifted.
3. Position the floor jack under the front jacking bracket (A) or rear differential carrier (B). Center the jacking bracket in the jack lift platform (C), and jack up the vehicle high enough to fit the safety stands under it.
