C. Liing the Vehicle
If maintenance that requires liing the vehicle is needed, follow the
specific guidelines to ensure a safe, stable environment is established.
Any common floor jack can be used to li the vehicle, providing the
proper jack points are utilized to prevent damage or injury. If liing
the front, locate the jack pad under the front cross beam on the frame
in between the lower control arms. Do NOT li vehicle with any other
part of the chassis.
If liing the rear, use only the dierential housing as the jack point.
Ensure the front tires are secured using something large and heavy
preventing the front wheels from rolling. Because the housing is o
center, the vehicle may lean towards the driver’s side until jack stands
can be properly placed.
Jack stands can be placed anywhere along the frame rail but is
recommended to follow the locations shown in the image.
WARNING: Do not perform any work until jack stands are in place
and the vehicle is secure. Once positioned, it is advisable to jiggle the
chassis to make sure the vehicle is secure on the stands.
