Caution: To help avoid personal injury, always use jack stands when you are working on or under any vehicle that is supported only by a jack.

Caution: To avoid any vehicle damage, serious personal injury or death when major components are removed from the vehicle and the vehicle is supported by a hoist, support the vehicle with jack stands at the opposite end from which the components are being removed and strap the vehicle to the hoist.

Before you begin any lifting procedure, ensure the vehicle is on a clean, hard, level surface. Ensure all the lifting equipment meets weight standards and is in good working order. Ensure all the vehicle loads are equally distributed and secure. If you are only supporting the vehicle at the frame side rails, ensure the lifting equipment does not put too much stress on or weaken the frame side rails.

If you use any other lifting methods than those called out, use care to not damage the fuel tanks, the exhaust system or the underbody.
