Jack Options W/Lift?

[dmalis12]

Any thoughts on what jack to keep in the truck when having a slight lift? I don't have sliders so a Hi Lift is out (plus strapping it somewhere in the truck) I don't think the factory jack will get it off the ground. Just wondering what everyone has? Any aftermarket bottle jacks that will get the job done?

maybe? 8 Ton Super Heavy Duty Long Ram Hydraulic Flat Bottom Jack

You could keep a block of wood in the truck to compensate for the lift. Either a pair of 4x4s bolted together and laid flat on the ground should do it and be safe. I use something similar in the garage for my jack stands when I need because they are too short.

Or call AAA and let them deal with it.

I've got extended travel fronts with TC UCAs and the stock bottle jack works fine with a square piece of 2x6 underneath it.

If you're just looking to change a tire on the side of the road, the oem jack will give you enough clearance to do that with a slight lift. I have the Daystar 2.5/1.5 and have tested the oem bottle jack on flat ground and got the rear clear by a couple inches.
