Just do it one side at a time an avoid jacking from the diff or axels. The factory jacking point for the ute is actually the chassis. The load of the car is always transferred through the jack so you are going to stress whatever you are using to lift the car. Still dont believe it? Simple experiment. Put your hand between the car and the jack and start to raise the jack. If it hurts I'm right. It's no theory it's physics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
