Re: Jacking up laid out truck

Maybe remove the front bumper so you can get under the frame from the front?

If you are laid on the crossmember you wont be able to get a jack under it even with the bumper off. I added this bar largely due to lateral flex of the front horns. I made it just high enough that I can slide a jack under it if absolutely necessary. I use that spot to jack it up now that I don't have my engine in but I would only use it in emergency situations once the engine is in due to the amount of weight.


The other option would be to cut your airline and put a schrader valve on it to manually fill it up.
