The Ford Barn

I have just jacked one end of the front or rear axles to lift just one wheel. Have not raised them more than an inch or two. Have not found that to be bothersome, I hesitate to say about raising by a mid-frame jacking. I fear that may cause more problems than it will cure unless one used two jacks simultaneously. It would seem to be okay for a short period of time, but to leave it a week or so up on one jack would be inviting trouble, I believe. But what do I know? These frames may be stronger that I think. Your results may vary.
