Does anybody know off hand the maximum height of the OEM jack? I was just looking at some options and they all show a lifting range.

Spin it up all the way and see how tall it gets. Also as I learned in the incident I mentioned previously, the higher you go the less stable it is.

I was hoping someone already knew the specs. I didn't want to have to get the jack out and measure it myself. And yeah, the higher the less stable is kind of an obvious fact. So the higher the jack's capabilities, the more stable it should be at less than max.
