    It happens a lot, someone will come to TW & ask a question or make a comment, & you never hear from them again. This OP has 2 messages, usually 10 messages or less & they won't be seen again. Maybe they get their answer & don't need to come back, or maybe don't like us making fun of them, as is a normal response around here. I enjoy the direct answers, but also enjoy the fun of the sarcasm the others put in. Hey replica9000, where do I find one of those little jacks? I need one for my "LOW RIDER" Taco 4X4. If OP was still around, maybe he could get one of those & put it on top of his orig. bottle jack & get enough lift to change his tire.

    I had a flat with all stock truck and the jack wouldn't go low enuff to get under truck. I bought a small floor jack and stow it in the tool box in bed.

    I know you're trying to be funny, but if you know what you're doing, that would actually work just fine.

    Using the link above, it seems the max lift of this jack is 1 1/4”. (With 46 pumps...)

    How would you do it to make it work just fine?

    He'll be back with a big long explanation about how you fab angle iron, 2x4s, grade 15 bolts, and n24078 schotky rectifier transistors to kludge something together to make it work.

    Yes. To use for lifted trucks you need to stack them on top of each other. It is best to drink them first then you can get even higher. Lastly if you are then shitfaced when the truck falls and kills you you don’t feel it nor completely waste the jack.

    Two step with Hi-lift also requires cribbing (wooden blocks) for safety. Poor op asked a common question and got his bottle jack shoved up his ass.

    op read the instructions on the jack. If it is not two stage or not working get a better scissor jack, they are much more foolproof.
