Jacking Points vs Quickjack setup

[dwight]

Hello friends! Yes...i know the jacking point locations per the manual. Yes...i dont want to be that guy who has his LC fall on him for being dumb. Safety is top priority of course. Can i get wiser input/guidance if i should use my Quickjack for our LC? I have the correct one to support our LC's but i havent seen many use the sides to lift LC's on. Ive briefly seen on YT when LCs go on a proper lift they also dont quite use the sides. Any input is much appreciated!! Thanks!

I’m no expert, but I don’t think I would use one on our rigs.

As long you have the correct quickjack pads (or risers), I don't see what the issue would be. the vehicle is designed to be lifted on those points, lifting at all 4 corners at once (should be) safer. I've used my quickjacks on Tacomas, F-150's and BMW's with no issues. Most automotive repair shops lift from these points.

That being said, make sure you're using your jacks correctly and take all safety precautions.
