If you jack where the axle attaches to the frame, the axle won't bend. I assume the axle is capable of holding up that much weight without being crushed, which is the only way it could be damaged.

Hello, With regards as to where to PLACE the jack on an Rpod, in my case a 2018 178, should the jack be placed only on the bracket in the attached picture? Haven't quite figured out how to get the picture to appear (I might not be able to link to OneDrive). Copy and paste these links into your browser. Sigh, these links may not work. Let me know. https://1drv.ms/i/s!AoFQRUJHVZ-Rth8cYS-SKpw_6vrN Here is SteveH's homemade jacking block https://1drv.ms/i/s!AoFQRUJHVZ-RtiCIeE8jistTFQUv Or in the forum http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712&PID=82715&title=our-escapod-mods#82715 |

That is the best spot that I could find. You should have received a PM with the specific link showing the jacking block I made to best jack up the pod without putting pressure on the axle tube.

Hi from Bill. Both FR & Lippert tell you different things. You are right you jack under the bracket & put a jack stand between the jack & tire while you do service work & you can relieve pressure on the jack.

Your right, the levitationizers on Amazon are expensive but well worth it.
