    Hey guys,

    So the other day I had a front tire go flat 9 miles back on a gravel mountain road. I threw my oem jack under there and quickly found out that it wasn't tall enough because of my 3" lift. I improvised and changed the tire but that whole experience led me to this question. Besides a hi lift (I've got dealer added predator step bars I don't want to mess up) what are my options for a jack thats tall enough to lift my truck?

    Thanks guys

    No....I used the lower control arm and prayed.lol I'm not proud of it. All joking aside I made dang sure it was seated well before lifting it and I stayed out from under it.
