Jacking & Hoisting: Hoist
WARNING:
When removing heavy rear components such as suspension, fuel tank or spare tire, vehicle center of gravity may change and cause vehicle to tip forward.
- When removing heavy rear components such as suspension, fuel tank, spare tire or tailgate, place additional weight into trunk of vehicle before hoisting. Placing front wheel/tire assembly into cargo area can assist with weight distribution.
- Place lift blocks onto reinforced support points of side body panels (between front and rear wheels). See Figure . These are same points as used with manufacturer-supplied jack. Lift hoist a few inches and rock vehicle to ensure vehicle is firmly supported. Completely lift vehicle and check for proper vehicle support.
