HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
The jackstand can be positioned under the spring−to−frame mount
CAUTION
On models equipped with an under chassis mounted spare tire, remove the tire, wheel or tire carrier from the
vehicle before it is placed in a high lift position in order to avoid sudden weight release from the chassis.
When raising the vehicle on a hoist, position the front end adapters under the center of the lower suspension
arm or the spring supports as near to the wheels as practical. The rear hoist adapters should be placed under
the spring mounting pads or the rear axle housing. Be careful not to touch the rear shock absorber mounting
brackets.
