Use of tow bar as rear jacking point

Saw some you tuber using the tow bar so he got enough lift to get both wheels off before he used axle stands.
Anyone else use the tow bar?

No Shocked To me this would be asking for trouble. Tow bars are not designed to do this, main forces on a tow bar / fastenings etc are longitudinal NOT vertical.

Yes you can lift the rear of a FF by placing the jack under the centre of the tow bar.
