I assume the 128 is the same as the 135. This was posted a few times already.

To get to the front center jacking point with my Harbor Freight jack (nothing special), I put a 2x4 under the front tires. Easiest way is just drive onto them.

If you want to use the side jacking points, you need to put something into them. I use a piece of 3/4 plywood cut to fit. Others use steel, you can buy a specially made aluminum piece.
