Re: Torsion Level-another dumb-ass question

I was thinking of a jack about under the bump stop after lowering the front as far as possible. I'm reluctant to buy a tool that I will never use again; although each restoration only needs the tool once I've never seen a used load arm tool for sale. Shipping is indeed prohibitive and I'm a long ways from the nearest Packard mechanic. Dads 56 has a solution that gives me the confidence to try and an idea of the strength needed. I estimate the load on the arm to be in the 3000 to 4000 lb. range and I can imagine the horror of a sudden failure!

Thanks all; I will post results if I survive the experiment.
