 Calendar Event: Jacking Up Rpod 179Posted: 22 May 2021 at 1:17pm |

Hi folks. Does this pic raise any flags to anyone? I've read through the many posts on this subject, but still would appreciate comments. I'm planning on lifting by frame, and a couple vids I saw suggests lifting on the frame just "behind" the axle bracket. But I can't make that work on the one side because the steps are in the way. So, anyone foresee issues lifting just in front of the back tire at where I put the red marks on the picture? Any red flags on the jack I using ? Totally overthinking this I'm sure but first time you know. Thanks for the thoughts

The frame is only 0.1 in thick. I wouldn't jack where you marked. See the vertical flanges where the axle it attached to the riser? Those vertical flanges are really strong because there is a lot of steel I'm the direction of the jack lifting force. That's where I lift mine.
In case it's not obvious leave the trailer attached to the tow vehicle eth the TV in gear and brake set. |
