    I wondered about that. I also see that there is an adjustable pad as well. I may try and build one out of hardwood.

    Thanks, I saw that on an other posting. It looks great, I just don't have the metal tools or skills to weld something like that.

    easiest thing to use if you have a good floor jack is a 2 x 6 or 4 x 4 .

    between the gear and up against the axles -- if you just want one side jacked move the jack off centre a bit.

    If you have cherry picker or overhead crane lift at engine mount next to firewall.


    Cheers
