Frame Contact Hoist

Vehicle may be raised on single-post or twin-post swiveling arm, or ramp-type drive hoist as long as wide hoist adapters are used. If using single-post hoist, ensure lifting arms, pads or ramps are positioned at proper lifting points, and adequate underbody clearance is maintained.

If vehicle is to be raised on a twin-post hoist, use caution not to damage suspension, rear axle cover and/or steering linkage components. DO NOT allow lift pads to contact exhaust system components. Position front adapter pads carefully to ensure maximum support under center of lower suspension arms or spring supports as near wheels as possible. Position rear suspension hoist adapters under spring mounting pads or rear axle housing, away from shock absorber or stabilizer bar mounting brackets.

CAUTION: If single-post hoist is being used, add additional weight on rear end of vehicle before removing rear axle, fuel tank, spare tire or liftgate. This will prevent vehicle from tipping as center of gravity changes.
