jack

[texasride]

hi all is their a way to jack the front end of the spyder up to get both wheels of the ground at the same time or is better to lift each one seperated and where can the jack be put.:helpsmilie::dontknow::yes:

Front center of the frame, just behind where it starts to rise. Be sure and block the rear tire and/or set the parking brake, and be sure to use jackstands to stabilize the Spyder. Frankly, I have done this and the jack is hard to get in there, and can slip on the frame readily without a rubber jack pad. It is an invitation to disaster! I would recommend doing each wheel separately, or jacking up the entire Spyder with an ATV jack.

+2 The jacks like in Lamonster's pictures can be bought for under $100.

I got mine (looks just like the one in the photo) at Harbor Freight. Used the 20% off coupon when I caught it on sale for $139.95 I think .... getting too old to remember it accurately.

I bought a Larin ATV jack with a roller seat from Farm&Fleet for $80.
It listed for $140. It worked well for my 2 wheelers and seems to work great for the :spyder2:, as well.
Just my experience.

It look like the jack is placed in the center of the :spyder2: just behind the front wheel. Is this the approximate location that would also be used for an RT? Thanks for any advice.

If I remember correctly, you don't want to support the Spyder using the lift for long periods. You should use stands. The Sears model allows you to lock the lift in place and release the pressure on the hydraulic pump.

My two cents.

The Larin from Farm & Fleet ($80) is probably the way I'll go. Need to measure the clearance under the Spyder first. Seems most are 5.5" except for the Larin MAL-2C ATV (2.5"...$180) and the one from Harbor freight (4.5"...$150)
