Bottle Jack

Got my first flat in the truck. Used OEM bottle jack. It was a PITA with the lift. Any recommendations on hydraulic bottle jacks?

 

Hi-Lift jack will get you out of just about anything.

Otherwise, those bottle jacks harbor freight sells are pretty good.

 

A guy on here made a Extension that gave an extra 3” to the oem bottle jack. Might wanna do something like that .

 

This is my favorite Bottle of Jack.

 

The gentleman jack is better, just saying.

 

Ok sure, but this bottle is on fire!

 

4x4 piece of wood. or some 2x4 that'll fit under the seat.

Otherwise any bottle jack will have a collapsed and extended length. Pick your flavor

 

I have an old yellow bottle jack from a land cruiser that works awesome.It can lift pretty high(for a bottle jack).

 

Hi lift is only an option if you have aftermarket sliders or bumpers to use to lift it, though

 

Google 'exhaust jack'. That's about as compact and simple as you'll find. Beyond that, most people in the clubs I ran carried a regular 2 ton floor jack.

 

torin big jack lets you screw the cap up a before you even start jacking. Only problem is you have to screw it back down which takes time.

 

Search around in the off roading forum. There are a few companies that make extensions, although some of those kits seam really freakin expensive for what they are...

Lots of people even carry a hydro floor jack in their rigs. The aluminum ones aren't *that* heavy, but they do take up space. bottle jacks are nice, but you have to watch them as they get extended since their bases are usually pretty narrow - use a thick steel plate bolted to the base for better surface area...

 

Where were you jacking from though? Unless you have huge tires, the OEM jack should still reach your rear axle and your front control arms without much problem...

You don't need to jack on the frame, that's silly - even at stock height.

 

is a 3 ton jack the right size?

this company sells their gadgets by the each: https://safejacks.com/

their customer service said I need a 3" extension & yoke assembly. their 3 ton jack is double $$ the same one on Amazon costs.

 

Does your truck weigh 6k? A 2 ton jack has lifted every vehicle I've ever needed it to.

 

i wound just make a 4x6 block to fit the base of the jack and either mortise it so the jack fits in the block to solidly, or screw the jack to the block.

 

Hi there, resurrecting this thread. I have no jack at all right now and would like to buy one that would ideally fit where the stock jack went beneath the back seat of my 1996 extended cab with 32.5" tires. Any model you might suggest? I am eyeing

$27 Pro-Lift B-002D Grey Hydraulic Bottle Jack - 2 Ton Capacity

this one, and carrying a piece of 4x4.
