Hoisting

STANDARD PROCEDURE - HOISTING RECOMMENDATIONS

Refer to the Owner's Manual for emergency vehicle lifting procedures.

When properly positioned, a floor jack can be used to lift a Jeep vehicle. Support the vehicle in the raised position with jack stands at the front and rear ends of the frame rails.

CAUTION:

Do not attempt to lift a Jeep vehicle with a floor jack positioned under:

A body side sill.
A steering linkage component.
A drive shaft.
The engine or transmission oil pan.
The fuel tank.
A front suspension arm.
Transfer case.

NOTE:
Use the correct sub-frame rail or frame rail lifting locations only.

HOIST

Refer to the Owner's Manual for emergency vehicle lifting procedures.

A vehicle can be lifted with:

A single-post, frame-contact hoist.
A twin-post, chassis hoist.
A ramp-type, drive-on hoist.

NOTE:
When a frame-contact type hoist is used, verify that the lifting pads are positioned properly.

WARNING:

The hoisting and jack lifting points provided are for a complete vehicle. When a chassis or drivetrain component is removed from a vehicle, the center of gravity is altered making some hoisting conditions unstable. Properly support or secure vehicle to hoisting device when these conditions exist.
