its better to have the vehicle in off road height before you start jacking otherwise you just have to jack it up to that height and then beyond to lift it up. less jacking if its already up there.

Place the jack under a piece of the chassis or one of the suspension arms. Always leave a door open (if jacking the front, leave the rear door open)

If you have deployable steps make sure they are deployed and remain so or they may bget in the way of the jack/handle.

Does it have to be a door? Can it also be tailgate?

Also can someone confirm you can jack ok with deployable side steps deployed and lastly lol, anyone have pics of good jack points other than the plastic side ones? Regards

You can jack with the steps locked out -- and best to use a nice bottle jack as supplied from the group buy :O Current: 2011 FFRR Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8
