BEST BOTTLE JACK FOR LIFTED 4X4 4WD

[@magnusb6311]

Good video. You are right, Jacks are very dangerous. Always use a Jack stand under if you are working under the car. I know several people who have gotten killed working under their car with just a jack to lift it. I think you should make a video of the places under the car where you can use a jack.

Great comments and suggestions Magnus. Yes I hate jacks and only use them when I have too.

Problem with the bottle jacks are the extension range. If you had a flat tyre and needed to lift the car up they can't do both the tyre sidewall height as well as the suspension droop. I use my factory jack with an off-road high lift jack plate.

So true, thanks for your comment

You're missing a part to your jack handle. My FJ kit has all 3 pieces luckily. I will however be adding a plate (Al) to spread the footprint a bit and possibly look to fabricate an extension along similar lines to the "safe jack".

That explains it, thanks. Just as well I never had to use the standard Jack, guess it got lost somewhere along the line. 👍🏼

Ya the jack that came with my truck barely even reaches the frame… thanks for nothing Ford!🤦🏻‍♂️

Yeah factory jacks are not the best, thanks for your comment 👍🏼
