I vote for Partial Credit, because he WILL need that Simplex for
working on the rear tires and suspension - no mast on that end.

I lost you here. I have this simplex jack on the shelf, why can't I
use it for the back?

You will NEED it for the back. Thats where the weight is.
When jacking it up..keep ALL your tools, family members and whatnot
clear of the jack and the work area. And stay out from under it!

Only use good, clear timbers in good shape. Thats close to 12,000 lbs of
steel you are going to be lifting up, if its a 6000 lb forklift..or
more. Often times the back is 3x the weight of the lifting capacity. +/-

You gotta be kidding me.

The whole forklift weighs less than 10k lbs

If it weighs 10K you will have over 8 on the back tires. The whole
idea is to counter weight the forks.
