Lifted truck jack.

[Dumke]

I know I can just throw the 3 ton jack in the back for when I am on ths street and get a flat and need to change it. Assuming you cant you the stock jack anymore even tho I havent tried.


My question is I for those that are lifted what jack do you use on the trail when offroading if you happen to get a flat?

[ZEUS]

It's this cool little product called "Fix-a-flat" get the one meant for big tires and get a spare can! Or you can use a decent bottle jack that you can store in place of the stock junk... I mean jack.

Use some man-gineering

The stock jack would work OK, provided you have a railroad tie or something else to use under it for a spacer...

I was kiddin' on the railroad tie...how much higher is you're frame off the ground after the lift?...that's all the thickness you'll need in a block.
A couple thicknesses of 2x6" or 2x8" criss crossed, overlapped & screwed together, with a peice of 3/4" plywood screwed to one side should do the trick.

Also, I agree with Thor...errrr, Zeus (I get my Gods mixed up), a hydraulic bottle jack would be an improvment over stock.

I knew you were joking... You really didnt think I would put a railroad tie on my roof rack??? I would @ least put it in the back and beat bart as the biggest load...



Ya me being the awesome mechanic there is... not!! I am going to go that methid just didnt know what others were using and when I put it in the search forum I came up with "jack" pun intended...



Thanks again.

Ya, I thought you were jokin', but the written word is hard to tell sometimes.
That's why I tend to use too many smilies...don't want anyone taking me too seriously.

I guess a R/R tie might make things a "little" top heavy.
