Hoisting recommendations

WARNING: THE HOISTING AND JACK LIFTING POINTS PROVIDED ARE FOR A COMPLETE VEHICLE.

WHEN A CHASSIS OR DRIVETRAIN COMPONENT IS REMOVED FROM A VEHICLE, THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS ALTERED MAKING SOME HOISTING CONDITIONS UNSTABLE. PROPERLY SUPPORT OR SECURE VEHICLE TO HOISTING DEVICE WHEN THESE CONDITIONS EXIST.

FLOOR JACK

CAUTION: Do not attempt to lift a vehicle with a floor jack positioned under:

  • An axle tube.
  • Aluminum differential.
  • A body side sill.
  • A steering linkage component.
  • A drive shaft.
  • The engine or transmission oil pan.
  • The fuel tank
  • A front suspension arm.

When properly positioned, a floor jack can be used to lift a Durango vehicle (Fig. 3). Support the vehicle in the raised position with jack stands at the front and rear ends of the frame rails.
