Ok
So i just bought and installed a 2 post hydraulic car lift and went to put the jeep up on it today and ran into a little snag.
I have a 4" tereflex long arm kit and since the welded additions are on the outside of the actual frame I am not sure where to put the 2 arms on each side for the best safety / stability. If i put the rear ones far enough back so they can hit the frame the rear long arms will actually sit on top of the lift arms. In the front it is a similar situation.
today i was able to contact the front of the frame on each side with the forward arms but the 2 rear arms could only contact the welded on rear brackets for the rear long arms. There was simply nowhere else for them to contact.
So i got the thing about 2 feet off the ground and it appeared stable but I have to wonder, can those tereflex rear long arm brackets really support the jeep on the lift? I just dont know.
Ideas, advice and wisdom are welcome!
