Jacking

JACKING

When you are lifting a vehicle with a vehicle jack or a floor jack, block the wheels at the opposite end from which you are lifting. Use jack stands to provide additional support.

Under The Frame Rails




Position the floor jack pad as follows:
Under the frame rail reinforcements

IMPORTANT:
- The floor jack pad must not contact the rocker panel outside of the frame rail reinforcements.
- The floor jack pad must not contact the floor pan.

Supporting The Vehicle With Jackstands
Place jackstands ONLY under strong and stable vehicle structures.
