Bottle jack

Post by insideout »

I'm planning on putting a lift (2") and bigger tires (31") this spring. What height of bottle jack would I need once this is done? I only have the stock jack and I want to upgrade sometime soon. I saw at Canadian tire they have an assortment, but what is the min-max height I should get?

TIA

Mine is lifted by 1.5". I kept the stock jack because it fits nicely tucked in the corner. I carry 2 cut off pieces of 2x10 I liberated from a scrap pile at Home Depot. The help raise the height and also give you a stable surface to jack from if it's wet. I also use them sometimes to level the Delica for sleeping.

the top pin on my stock hydraulic jack threads out(up/down) to take up height differences found in the road.

you may not even need the wood block if you get an adjustable jack.
Yeah I joined the Dark Side because the medical plan is top shelf!
