Jacking Point

If you look in my mods, you will see a simple jacking block I made from two pieces wood screwed together and cut to allow the axle tube to sit in a notch along with the wires that run along the axle. The actual jacking points then become the brackets on the front and back side of the axle tube. This has worked very well for me. I use a small floor jack with this block. Since my driveway is concrete, it supports the wheels of the jack very well. I would probably need to use a board if I were to need to use it on soft ground though.

Originally posted by furpod Originally posted by Ghosthawk Ok, now I am curious, is there a reason not to use the axle where it attaches to the frame? Because the axle manufacturer says not to jack on the axle.. AND.. the frame manufacturer says not to jack on the frame. Which leaves levitation, most owners have not mastered it yet.

The ironic thing is that the axle is jacking on the frame all the time. By the same notion, the tires/wheels are jacking on the axle.

Ghosthawk,

The only answer I can provide, is don't jack on the axle tube. On my pod the axle attachment point and risers is the same point.

A link to an image will not work unless the link includes the file type in the link (E.G. .jpg, .png, .gif, and so on). Some sites (like google or dropbox) provide a link that does not include the file type. You kind of have to work around that.
