Where to Jack Up a Chevy Trailblazer
To safely jack up a Chevy Trailblazer, it is important to locate the proper jack points. Here are some guidelines to follow:
1. Front Jacking Points: The front of the Trailblazer has two notches on either side of the frame just behind the wheel for jack stands or jacking up. You can use foam 2×12’s and a sky hook through the windows to lift the vehicle.
2. Rear Jacking Points: In the rear, the jack location can vary depending on the model year. In some models, the jack is located under the rear seat, bolted to the floor. In other models, there may be a metal seam or pinch weld that sticks down, known as the pinch weld. You should position the jack so that it lifts on the pinch weld, right where it has a notch in it.
It’s important to note that jacking up a vehicle can be dangerous if done incorrectly. Always refer to the owner’s manual for specific instructions and safety precautions. Additionally, using a floor jack with a pinch weld adapter can help prevent damage to the body of the vehicle.
Remember to exercise caution and follow proper safety procedures when working with a jack. If you’re unsure or uncomfortable with the process, it’s best to consult a professional mechanic or refer to the owner’s manual for specific instructions.
