Rear Jack Position Question
I have my SG on my table lift and I am wanting to get the rear tire off the table top.
Were are you guys placing the scissor jack to jack up the rear?
The two places that look like they would work is the cross member between the frame (looks a little flimsy) or on the Transmission pan (don't know if that is a good idea).
What are ya'all doing?
Thanks guys

I use a scissor jack thats actually made for scoots/ATV's.
Cost was $99 bucks.
You'll eventually bend that crossmember thats under the oil pan.
If you look closely at the pic you can see the jack just in front of the crossmember.
I have a microfiber towel on top of the jack.

I agree, get a bike lift. Only $100 buck or less, and worth it. Place the lift just ahead of the cross member, the lift will support both sides of the frame, and it will lift an EG up level. I wouldnt use a regular jack, too much weight on too small of spot. Good luck!!
