An elongate crossbar is provided with adjustable length. Ends of the crossbar are spaced from each other a distance matching a spacing between longitudinally extending frame members of a vehicle which has had its driveline detached from drive wheels and needs to be suspended. A saddle is attached to the crossbar with the saddle having a rest area the driveline can rest upon. Ends of the crossbar preferably include brackets which grip portions of the frame members. The crossbar can include a spring which urges first and second ends of the crossbar away from each other, and with a lock nut acting on a threaded shaft at a first end of the crossbar to lock the crossbar at a desired length once positioned. The saddle preferably includes hooks at the ends of arms on either side of the rest area so that the saddle can conveniently suspend from the crossbar.
