2 post lift jacking points?

parb · Jan 18, 2025

I read through the manual to see where the jacking points are?
They are on the axle...?
That can't possible be the right spot for a 2 post lift?
Any better recommendations?

On the chassis rail. Furthest distance apart whilst still on flat section

Yep, on the flats of the chassis rails as @Mudnut said.
The first time you do it pay close attention to the vertical clearance between the arms and your dissent sliders. You may need to wind the pads up to provide some clearance under the sliders. I have the factory side steps and my agent has to use height extensions to stop the arms from hitting the steps before the pads contact the chassis.

I forgot about sliders and steps. I used my 2 post lift to hold the rock sliders in place to bolt them on. Have not checked clearance now that they are in place.

@Mudnut ,@Clark Kent, good info thanks.

If you could pm/share pics of the positions, I’ll add them to a future edition of the manual.

Cheers Steve

Following with interest, I have a scissor lift and can’t lift the Ineos with it because i can’t get access with my pads onto the chassis. I’m almost at the point of getting a subframe fabricated that I can bolt to the scissor lift.

When I have done it Ive used the two points where large bolts protrude through on some flat plate sections.. not a good description i know. Its the same points the dealerships use.

Thanks all,

I don't have a lift but we have a company near where I live where I can rent a bay with a lift. I'm about to put in my new rival gas team skid plate and it requires me to take off and replace the transfer case skid plate as it's incompatible with the gas tank skid plate. Rival sent me a replacement.

Its just a bit too cold to spend a few hours on the asphalt on my driveway right now so I'm going to rent the bay for it. But never used 2 post lift before and I wanted to make sure I don't make a mistake even though I'm sure that the business will oversee how I'm operating the lift.

Here are some photo's of jacking points for a 2 post lift. This is on my Quartermaster, so might be different placement for wagon.
1st photo shows about 100mm between arm and factory rock sliders with 3 pad extensions in place. Could have taken one out, but wanted extra clearance just to be sure.
2nd photo. This is the only level place at the front, as the bolt on cross brace takes up a bit of room. Note had to angle the pad to form around the brace, and get it as far to the front as possible.
3rd photo. Flat section on chassis just before trailing arm.
4th photo. Does not show, but front of truck is lower than rear by about 50mm. Not sure if wagon has a level chassis. Can remove a 50mm section of the extension posts to level up. This would still give about 50-70mm clearance of the arm and the rock sliders at the rear.
Fairly narrow arm placement, but vehicle seemed stable.

Would be interesting to see where the factory points are

Thanks for posting this info. I’ll see if I can test lifts this Summer, prior to purchase.
