Locations For Blocking up the Suspension

[COLECRUZER]

Hi Everyone,
I need to get underneath our 1983 FCSB35 coach to check for air leaks and other maintenance items. Where are the proper locations to block up the suspension to safely get under it?
Thanks,
Rich

Frame rails are always the best place if at all possible.

I will use the leveling jacks to get the bus up then carefully sit the bus frame on the jack stands while still leaving the leveling jacks deployed as an added precaution.

Remember when lifting the coach up on the leveling jacks it will tell the air ride system that the suspension is too tall releasing the air to them. When the leveling jacks are then let down the suspension will pretty much bottom out until the air bags can re-inflate lifting the coach back up to an "up" position.

HD ramps are good too and as Tom said in the link post, it is imperative to block the wheels anytime someone is under the bus, thrown or otherwise

The only thing I like pressed in life is a... hot Cuban sandwich!
