Here's some Tips on Lifting the RT!

Is it ok to place jack stands under a-arms? I was told that could possibly damage them.

Has anyone used the Pit Bull left on their . If so how about pictures or info of placement.

I have a Pit Bull and have lifted my RT, but now I have the SpyderPops catalytic converter heat shields on & they appear to hang down too low. I now use car ramps for the front and a floor jack for the rear. Sorry, no pics.

got a harbor freight racing jack, little aluminum job, used it under the center frame just to look at stuff under there. will it hurt to lift it there? hope not... planned to use it this weekend to put my sway bar just got. don't have ramps anymore...

Update:

I have learned I can use the PitBull lift with SpyderPops Catalytic Converter Shields in place on my RT. I approach from the left side because the left shield only comes forward half as far as the right. This allows me to position the lift further to the rear to get better front/rear balance, making sure the end of the lifting surface does not go all the way to the right side shield. I also place a case of Lipton's diet green tea with citrus (LOVE that stuff) in the frunk for ballast. The rear wheel leaves the floor about 8" after the fronts leave the floor, but I believe that would be expected. Seems to be pretty stable, but you can always use straps to anchor it in place after you've lifted it to the height you plan to use.

I also found that I can lift approaching from the right side by running the lifting surface rails far enough in to be to the inside of the right side heat shield.

Glad to know I can use the lift.

I saw a few people on video jacking the RT up from the front. Any way of doing this or were my eyes playing tricks on me? I just need to get the front up to replace the shocks.
Thanks

If the SpyderPops BumpSkid is installed, it is possible to lift the Spyder from the front with an ATV jack. That is probably what you saw. A low profile ATV jack works for lifting the Spyder in the center, by the frame, too.

I noticed that too.

They were using this type of jack...

I believe they were installing shocks. I doubt everyone had the BumpSkid ??
