Yeah, but maybe a bit risky given the way the QJ drops and raises the car relies a good deal on the tires being able to roll a bit to relieve bind which would otherwise apply a shear between the floor, QJ and jacking points. With such heavy cars and low profile tires that don’t have a ton of flex available in their sidewalls, this probably is a greater force than the QJ geometry was designed around.

Maybe he’s done many a lift successfully, but I wouldn’t recommend it or do it myself.
I agree. I should of stated it should be verified by manufacturer before trying.
