Exhaust air jack

So saw this on fb for 177 dollars with the discount, 240 without. Hook it to your exhaust and it lifts your vehicle, pretty neat!

 

Get the Aliexpress.com app and search for "exhaust jack" this was one of the first results, same picture.

 

Hmmm that's pretty nice!

 

This seems like a terrible idea. I wouldn't trust it..

 

Those jacks are great for sand or if you dont have enough space to get your hi lift under your rig or on a slider...I would suggest name brands with those product though...

 

I was just looking these up today. Looks like it's either the ARB X Jack Kit for $250 or the Mean Mothers Exhaust jack Kit for $159.99.

Had the chance to see the Mean Mothers jack in action over the weekend. I was impressed. Bag filled quickly and worked like a charm. Would work on just about any vehicle.

The only thing that concerns me is what type ground your on. Some of the sharp rocky ground around my parts (Las Vegas) a Hi Lift would still be the choice. I could see this in my truck for future recovery efforts..

 

We use these as firefighters to lift vehicles quickly after an accident .
They work very well . The air bags we use are designed for extreme use but if the bags listed are anything close to auto X bags ,
they will work just fine for occasional lifting .
With this said , I wouldnt use them as a recreational product without selling a form of vehicle support along with the bag .

 

I bought one of these to lift my high clearance jayco travel trailer. Like gearcruncher mentioned these are very similar to low pressure lifting bags carried on fire apparatus and they definatley take a little practice to get placment right. It does a great job and IMO is a much safer alternative to the farm jack if you know what you're doing. With that said I would never get under a lifted vehicle that hasn't been properly stabilized but I'd be comfortable using it for a quick tire change or throwing a traction board under a tire.

 

Might I ask what trailer that is? We have a starcraft ar-one "extreme" that has the high clearance option, looks similar to what I can see of yours

 

Yeah no problem. Its a jayco 195rb

 

Thanks, good looking camper! We were very close to getting a jayfeather series but got a great deal locally on our starcraft. Love having the high clearance even if I hardly use it on roads where it's required

 

these airbags ROCK

100% functional and 100% useful. just make sure you use it
with jackstands if you even think you may stick an appendage under the truck

 

90 percent of our trips are off the grid so the clearance definatley comes in handy! Great size for pulling with a taco too!

 

As stated above these jacks are awesome in the sand.

I ran out of talent and blew a bead in a witches eye few years back.


my buddy happened to have one of these jacks.
