Installation of vehicle suspension lift ends in injury to mechanic

Description

A vehicle suspension lift is a modification to raise the ride height of a vehicle. These lifts provide higher ground clearance and help accommodate larger rims and tires. Many tire shops and automotive repair businesses are expanding their business for the installation of vehicle suspension lift kits. This presents a potential worker safety issue as many businesses do not have the necessary specialized equipment to hold the body of the vehicle stable as the suspension is being modified. This presents a potential safety hazard as described in this Bulletin.
