I have a 2 post Challenger asymmetric lift, rated for 10k so i believe it's well within capacity to lift a CCSB diesel. But what I've never been thrilled with is the location for the front lift pads being on the bottom side of the trailing arms. Rear lift points are the front leaf spring mounts, those I'm happy with. Has anyone found a better place to lift the front?

 

Directly on the frame.

I wouldn't lift from the spring mounts at all unless I had to, and I certainly wouldn't lift from the front control arms - that's asking to bend one.

I don't think you'll hurt anything by lifting directly on the frame.

 

Anything forward of the trailing arm mount is blocked by trailing arm, and as you see in picture, behind that mount are other brackets blocking good contact with frame. Would anyone lift the cab? Seems sketchy to me. More sketchy than lifting on trailing arms.

 

Definitely don't lift by the body unless you're lifting the cab off the frame and it's all disconnected.

 

I agree. I ran into the same issue. Diesel engine is HEAVY. Need the lift arms as far forward as possible, but the control arms are in the way. So I lifted from those.
