lifted for towing, the bumper will be damaged.
In addition, lifting of the rear wheels causes the oil

the rear bushing of the transfer, and so should never
be done.

front wheels or only the rear wheels on a rolling dolly,
because to do so will result in deterioration of the
viscous coupling and in the viscous coupling causing
the vehicle to jump forward suddenly.
