Abstract
A lifting bracket kit for a vehicle wheel on a vehicle connects with a bumper jack or body jack supplied with the vehicle or other type of lifting device so the vehicle can be raised by the wheel for maintenance and other purposes. Avoids spring extension and allows vehicle to be placed on blocks. The bracket has a support loop with a first element having an elongate portion adapted to extend across the back of the vehicle wheel below the wheel axis of rotation, the first element having curved portions at each end adapted to pass up and around to the front of a tire on the vehicle wheel; a second element adapted to extend across the front of the vehicle wheel at an elevation above the elongate portion of the first element; two hooks for joining the ends of the first element and the second element together to form the loop and two flexible link members extending from the two hooks connecting to a single lifting connector adapted to be positioned above the wheel axis of rotation, the lifting connector having an attachment for an external lifting device.
