How to Put a Sprinter on Jack Stands (Safe Method)

In this video, I show you how to safely lift and support a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter on jack stands using both a floor jack and the factory bottle jack. Due to the Sprinter’s design, you can’t always lift and support the vehicle from the same points — so I walk you through the correct method step-by-step. 🔧 What I demonstrate in this video: • Using a floor jack on an alternate front lifting point to raise the vehicle • Placing jack stands at the factory front bottle jack points for proper support • Using the factory bottle jack at the rear jacking point • Supporting the rear safely with jack stands positioned on the rear axle ⚠️ Important Safety Considerations: • Always work on flat, solid ground • Set the parking brake before lifting • Chock the wheels to prevent movement • Never get under a vehicle supported only by a jack 🚐 This procedure applies to most modern Sprinter vans and is essential knowledge for anyone performing maintenance or repairs. 👨‍🔧 Whether you’re a DIYer or just want to understand how your Sprinter is safely lifted in the shop, this video will walk you through the correct setup. 📺 Subscribe for more real-world Sprinter repair tips from a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter technician. #sprinterdoctor #sprintervan #sprintermaintenance #diymaintenance #vanlife #mercedessprinter
