Jacking up the front end on a 2016 F3-T

[wvedec]

I want to adjust the shocks on my 2016 Spyder F3-T. I have been looking a floor jacks, but even most of the "low profile" ones look like they would have trouble getting under the Spyder. Also, I am not quite sure where on the Spyder I would position the jack for lifting. This can't be done on ramps, because the tire has to come off the ground to reduce the tension on the shock spring.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a floor jack that would work and where it should be positioned?

Thanks,
Wayne

I use a jack like the Harbour Freight with the two prongs, Wayne. It rests at 4" off the ground. I position the front prong as far forward on the centre sub frame as I can (it goes under the floorboard which is set to position #5). That lifts both the front and rear of the F3-L. I then chock under the rear tyre for stability. That's the config I use for everything.

I drive up on 4" staggered (qty 2 2" x 4") & then use the standard support jacks. To lift the Spyder front end place the floor lift jack on the most forward part of the center frame,
