Vehicle Lift Points




If a lifting device other than the original Jack is used, it is most important that the device be applied only to the correct lifting points. (See the illustration.) Raising the vehicle from any other point may result in serious damage.

CAUTION: When jacking or lifting a vehicle at the frame side rail or other prescribed lift points, be certain that lift pads do not contact the Catalytic Converter, Brake Pipes or Cables, or Fuel Lines. Such contact may result in damage or unsatisfactory vehicle performance.




Lifting Point / Front: When using a Floor Jack, lift on the center of the Skid Plate.




Supportable Point / Front: Position the Chassis stands at the bottom of the Frame Sidemember, backward of front wheel.




Lifting Point / Rear: Position the Floor Jack at the center of the Rear Axle Case when lifting the vehicle.




Supportable Point / Rear: Position the Chassis Stands at the bottom of the Frame Sidemember, forward of the rear wheel.
