Jacking rear end

[Ben_D]

I have a Ventura. What is a good method to jack the rear and place some stands under it? I tried my car floor jack, but the trike kept tipping to one side or another.

"Balance" is the answer.

I used to jack one side up partway, put a block under that tire …

… then do the other side …

… etc …

… time consuming.

I also have used two H-F 1.5 ton aluminum floor jacks … I have a few.

Are you want to get the tires off or under it for service? If under it I made a set of ramps for all three wheels with the ramp part being removeable for better access. I drive it up on them and do what I need to do with no jacking up, safer to.

Rhino Ramps, available from Wal-Mart or on line, work really well.ThumbUp

They are relatively safe, reliable and inexpensive.

Car ramps

We bought 2 sets (4) ramps total of plastic made car ramps from Napa for our Chevy diesel pickup for servicing it in our garage. We use 3 of these ramps when servicing our Honda Trike. One front and 2 for the rears. Line them up and drive up on them. Lots of room to do your servicing under the trike.

Also use all 4 when servicing our Polaris General.

Just ran across this Cross-beam attachment for floor jacks; should be perfect for jacking the rear of the trike.
