Section 00-02: Lifting, Jacking and Spare Tire Stowage | 1996 F-150, F-250, F-350, F-Super Duty and Bronco Workshop Manual |
CAUTION: Damage to suspension or steering linkage components may occur when positioning hoist adapters. Front adapter pads should be positioned carefully to ensure maximum contact under the center of the lower suspension arms or spring supports as near to wheels as practical. Rear suspension hoist adapters (forks) should be placed under spring mounting pads or rear axle housing, but adapters must not interfere with shock absorber mounting brackets or stabilizer bar mounting brackets.
CAUTION: When raising a vehicle on a twin-post hoist, care should be taken to position the vehicle so that the hoisting adapters (forks) do not damage the axle housing cover (4033) or contact the rear stabilizer bar (5A772) or brackets.
Adapters may be necessary to clear vehicle components (front and rear) to lift vehicle safely.
