The Tri-Glide weighs about 1300 lb's, So if you are just lifting one end yes, But i would be very careful thats called Caveman Style.:shok:..I used a scissor jack to take one rear tire off at a time...and to put a lift kit on...

Floor Jack will work too then use jack stands for support

Always, Never take chances

Block the opposite wheel when jacking so it does not roll

Looking over my windshield a smashed up Trike is not worth the cost of a budget priced floor jack and stands just sayin... good luck and be very careful... remember what your lifting. Fred

In a pinch I've used the scissor jack from Mary's F150 truck to lift one side, put a jack stand under it, then the other side and a jack stand under it. Not sure where I would lift the front with a scissor jack, never looked.

Plus, I think her F150 jack is rated for more than 1100 lbs. Dunno for sure.

Better a floor jack, or even a bottle jack.

As previously mentioned...make sure the tires on the ground can't move when jacking the trike up.

In the video below you can see how we prefer to jack up the rear of the TG's. Have done it dozens of times and it works like a charm.
