Jacking question

Post by Jonnyb416 »

Got a question for anyone who has jacked up their T25 and put it on axel stands.

Could I lift my T25 hightop with 2 x 2 tonne trolley jacks and then hold it safely in the air on 4 x 2 tonne axel stands?

Any help or advice appreciated.

Thanks, Jon.

yes, of course you can, but you need to be sensible about how you do it , one adjustment at a time each stand.

the van weighs lets say 3t so thats only av* 3/4of a ton each corner , easily within the axles stands and jack








*slightly more at the back than the front realistically

Cheers Mocki. The van doesn't have an engine in at the moment either so should even lighter, however, I am not exactly on the small side.

Thanks, Jon.

Jonno and I jacked Corkyboy's hightop on his towbar a week or so ago so we could get axle stands in. Hardly orthodox but on a busy road with limited tools we had to make do. Worked ok anyway. We just figured it ought t be strong enough and better option than engine carrier
