Laverdur ... my saddle is made from 1/4" wall 1 1/2" angle iron. It's just wide enough to fit in-between the Ubolts. I just used a piece of pipe that fit my jack post and cut V's in it, then welded the angle in place. Nope the angle doesn't bend. Several years back I borrowed a load cell from work and placed it on top of the jack. I jacked the wheel up maybe 3/4" off the ground and the load cell read @ 2650# on my 3150RL. Lotsa people have in their mind they are lifting way more, but you have to realize you're not lifting much more than the weight that always sits atop that particular tire. Now I will say that "if" you continue jacking that axle up, it will continue to take more load off the other axle and the jacking weight will go up ... but why not just jack the axle high enough to remove the tire??
