Dropping the truck on jack stands.

[slocal94]

Is it possible to put the truck in the highest suspension setting and then putting four jack stands with pucks under each lifting point and then lowering the truck? Need to get all four wheels off of the truck at once and wondering if this is a possibility. Couldn't find any information on doing this.

The truck lowers by bleeding air pressure from the air shocks. In order to do what you are saying, the truck would have to be able to pull up on the suspension like a closed loop hydraulic system. Not possible. Even if you lowered the suspension with the truck being supported by stands, a large amount of weight from the vehicle tire/wheel/suspension would still be on the tires, not allowing you to slide them out.

Nope.

Thanks, wasn't sure how the suspension worked. Appreciate the quick response.

With two high lift 24"+ floor jacks and our XL jack pucks, you can get all four wheels off the ground if you have someone to operate the second floor jack. Put one floor jack on drivers front and the other on the passenger rear. Myself and a few of our customers have done this. They then used two jack stands in the open location and the two in-place floor jacks for a bit more safety.

Do you think the 7000lb quickjacks would lift a Rivian? I know the Rivian is right over the weight limit by a couple hundred pounds, but items like these should have a decent safety factor built in. Also, changing wheels wouldn't require you get under the car, so at least that danger is negated. I use them all the time for my two classic cars, but they are a lot lighter and I'm able to throw stands under axles for added safety when I'm laying under the car.

It absolutely will, as long as your QJ has the reach from jack location to jack location. The QJ's are significantly underrated.
