What Jacks Are You Using?

harbor freight 1.5 ton aluminum jack. Still haven't gotten around to making a skid plate for it

How high does that get the t4R? Max height listed at 14 & 3/4" which doesn't seem like a lot??? I'm trying to decide which jack to buy

OEM bottle screw jack and 4x 12"-2x4's 100% effective 98% of the time

Enough to lift from the axle and the A-arm's and get my 285's a inch or so off the ground. You would need to buy or make an extension to make it really useful.


I'm sure you could make one of these work or just make something along the lines.

I carry some tire plugs and have an ARB compressor. Hopefully that covers most incidents. If not factory jack.

I'm carrying around this 3-ton Husky jack. It's awesome, but a little heavy (probably 20 lbs). I have it chained and padlocked to one of the rear tie down loops in the back. Throw a couple short 2x4s in the back for stability on a muddy surface, and you're all set:

My last setup is the pro eagle and it's the best! I keep mine on the back of the passenger seat directly behind the driver, it fits perfectly on the back folded down (*ratchet strap that thing down, wouldn't want that thing flying around in an accident). Works on loose rock, mud, sand, whatever! Might even weight less than a hi lift!

Which model Pro Eagle jack do you have? Can you lift the entire front end up with it and not have to worry about overloading it?

I like to use a scissor jack so when the truck starts to fall I can yell “scissor me timber’s”!

:lol:

If you have a Hi Lift jack and sliders, get this.. I just recently used it to fix a flat and it is much safer with it on than off.

Got that last year, super helpful in keeping every stable!

I have the "Beast", yes you can lift the front end just fine. It's a big ass jack, it's made for full size trucks. Just lifted the front end of a tundra on 37s, didn't feel like it was overloaded at all.
