I have a challenger drive on lift with a rolling jack. I put the car on the lift for the first time today and the rolling jack arms will not extend far enough to reach the chassis lift points. I was a little surprised. Anyone else run into this?

Yes, I have ran into this. Challenger sells extensions for the jacks for these wider vehicles. You can find these on their website.

Thanks Ron I looked long and hard for some type of extension before I posted this and then again after you replied. I can't find it on their website. I reached out to the dealer that sold it to me. Hopefully he can clue me in.
I was pretty disappointed that jack pads would not reach.

Can I lift it from the center of the engine cradle casting?

I checked my literature and they have part number RJ45-ADT extensions for the QRJ04H 4,500lb rolling jack. These may also fit the QRJ03H 3,500lb jack as well. You may have different jacks than these. You should be able to carefully lift by the cradle, but the extensions along with the frame pucks work so much nicer.

Thanks Ron, I have my dealer chasing it down for me. That is no longer in the literature.

I got a quote it was more than I paid for the rolling jack in 2015! I'll figure how to lift it from the cradle. If I get into something and I have to have it, I'll consider it then.

Thanks for the help non the less.
