| CAUTION | DO NOT raise vehicle by hoisting or jacking against front lower control arms. If rear axle, fuel tank, spare tire and liftgate will be removed for service, place additional weight on rear end of vehicle. This will prevent tipping as center of gravity changes. |
- Vehicle may be raised on single- or twin-post swiveling arm, or ramp-type drive hoists. If using swiveling arm hoist, ensure lifting arms, pads or ramps are positioned evenly on frame rails, and adequate clearance is maintained for transfer case (4WD models) or skid plate. (Scheme 5)and (Scheme 6).
- If twin-post hoist is used, a 4 x 4 x 12" wooden spacer may be required to maintain vehicle level. Position spacer under front axle tube (opposite differential housing). All hoists must be equipped with adapters to properly support vehicle.
