Vehicle Lifting/Jacking Points

Vehicle jacking points are shown in Figure 1-11. The vehicle
can be raised with a floor jack at any of the indicated positions.
Jacking can be performed at the front, rear, or at any one
wheel.
In cases where the entire vehicle must be raised, use jack
stands at equidistant points on the frame rails. Use a minimum
of four stands to support the vehicle. Suggested capacity for in-
dividual jack stands is 3 ton, with a vertical reach of 19 in.
(49 cm).
Typical jack stand placement for raising one side of the vehicle
is shown in Figure 1-12. Always be sure the jack stand saddle
is securely engaged and the stand is level.

Vehicle Hoisting
Hummer vehicles can be raised on a hoist for service access.
Drive-on and swivel arm hoists are both acceptable. Hoist ca-
pacity and width are important. The greater width and weight
of Hummer vehicles require a larger hoisting platform. Do not
use an under capacity hoist, or modify an existing hoist for use;
this practice is neither safe nor recommended.
