DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/17/1999

Jacking

WARNING: Do not run the engine when jacking the vehicle. The wheels contacting the ground could cause the vehicle to move.
WARNING: Make sure the jack and jack stands are properly located to prevent the vehicle from falling.
WARNING: Wheel chocks should be used to prevent the vehicle from rolling and falling off the jack.
WARNING: The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be
accomplished by turning off the air suspension switch located in the rear jack storage area. Failure to do so may result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air
springs which may result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.

1. The front jacking point is a tab that extends from the lower control arm.

Jacking Points — Rear

1. CAUTION: Do not use the differential housing as a lift point. Leaks or damage to the rear axle cover and adjoining differential housing surface may occur

The rear jacking points are located on the rear axle tube.
