How to Jack up rear end

[rhoule1]

Does anyone know the best location to jack up the back of an RT. I tried jacking under the shock but not sure that's the best location.

Per the RT Service Manual "Do not lift under rear shock absorber. Always lift by the frame." Page 484

Jacking up RT

Thank you for your reply. I never noticed anything about Jacking in the manual. I will look again. Their doesn't seem to be an easy frame location to catch with a jack.

I guess they say that because a shock could fail if you're under it but the jack could fail too. I always use jack stands after I get it off the ground to work on.

When I had the rear tire replaced at Burt's on the RT they jacked it from the rear shock.
