Thanks for the video! So to sum it up it's really just the front needs more effort, whereas the rears its exposed so much easier. For the front you can't just jack at the jack stand area?
Dave - you have to jack the truck up to full suspension extension to get the tire off the ground because the tire and wheel weigh about 90lb. I do not like the idea of jacking a vehicle way up in the air like that to change a tire. How bout putting it in medium height, dropping it to low then put it in hack more. Maybe even use Service mode to deflate the air bag on the corner where you're working. Then you'll need less than 200lb under the lower control arm to raise the tire off the ground. Meanwhile the truck is nearly level. Seems much safer.
The truck doesn’t use jack pads. In fact it has protrusions where allows the floor jack to fit nicely in the protrusion to keep it in center so the rubber inside of the floor Jack cup seems to be just fine.
What about putting the tuck in jack mode per Tesla instrucitons?
I decided against drumming boards because the CT has easy entry/ exit feature and drops the suspension. No need to step on a running board.
True but I hate cycling the suspension every time get in

That’s acute but they redesigned the mounting brackets and it does not require moving the front bracket now. I’ll make an updated video soon,

Yup, I’m gonna have a 1/4 in. drive ratchet, short extension with sockets living in my Beast👍
Good choice!
Too bad Hansshow had to add an extra step to lifting the Truck. Be interested to see if the wheel drop in jack mode can be remedied
Problem they cover the lifting spots I bet all are the same
No jack pads?

Tire rotations with tire shops😂
I wont be buying those running boards for my CT. They just dont look right. They have a cheap look to them. JMHO.
