bump skid use

[kranslav]

I tried to see if there were any posts asking if you can use Spyderpops bumpskid for jacking up the front of a RTS Spyder using a car floor jack? Thanks

I wouldn't recommend it. The bumpskid is mostly just attached to the bottom of the frunk.

Absolutely no!

only if you have a two prong jack, like a motorcycle or lawnmower type jack

there are no posts asking that question because it is really silly. The bumpskid is not structural

 

[UtahPete]

Absolutely no!

:agree: why would you want to?

If you have a car jack that can reach the back center where the bump slid overlaps the frame. What gives the skid strength is where it is screwed to the back into the steel. When I had Elka do my shocks that is where they jacked it up.

There you have it....

Though it is a pretty solid piece where it is attached to is not strong enough to support the wieght of the spyder. As you can see there is a weight limitation to what you can carry in the frunk and you can imagine WAY less that the weight of the front end of the spyder....:thumbup:

Based on what I am seeing above...I would not do that with mine. The bumpskid serves a good purpose...but does not seem strong enough to support the weight of the Spyder.
