Jacking up Metris Passenger 2021 with Floor Jack for TIRE ROTATION

533 Views 11 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  MOWO
any advice on how i can jack up the metris and put a Brace so i can drop the floorjack to jack up the back opposite rear.... in order to have two wheels off and do a TIRE ROTATION? i see only the 4 jack points but if i jack up at that point where can i put the Floor Brace in that area to then drop the floorjack down ???? i only have one floor jack and hate to buy a 2nd just to rotate tires..... hope to use my floor brace on one wheel location while i use floor jack for the 2nd location.

i saw another post from someone else but nobody came up with anything on how to do it in that post and it snowballed into a different type of discussion... PLEASE HELP :)

I bought a pair of these to do tire rotations on my Tesla. I use 'em for the Metris, too.

what did you think of them.. do they seem solid and reliable ...

They're solid as a rock and quite heavy. I like them a lot. I can get one half of the vehicle in the air and leave it there safely.

you buy them new or used... i was shocked to see they were almost $450
It's been discussed a few times if you look. I think it's infinitely easier to have the rotation done with some service though. Unijack is an option. Locating the crossmember and jacking from the diff or the hitch is probably an option.

Use the spare.
MB WIS shows center jackpoints of some front crossmember (likely would have to remove the plastic bellypan) and the rear differential bracket. Not great. Yeah, I ended up borrowing my neighbor's floor jack to pair with mine for tire rotation in the past.

New, but that was in 2015. I remember them being pricey, but not that high. I guess after Jay Leno endorses 'em, they decided to jack up the price?

I see what you did there. 😁
Harbor Freight floor jack when they go on sale.
