I've lifted mine many times from the steel engine yoke that the rear motor
mounts screw to.
I've never bent one doing it this way but you could also lift from the point
that the tranny mounts to the front crossbar. I've done this too but it
seems to be about a balancing point and not as stable as the rear lift
scenario.

Subject: Jackin' Up The Van

If I have a floor jack and want to raise the van from the center rear
without doing one side and then the other (I don�t want it to tip side to
side right now) is there a center point that is strong enough to be a jack
point (keeping in mind that as soon as I get the butt up in the air, I�ll be
jack standing the leafs and letting it rest back down on them).  Will the
transmission hold the weight?

Dave
