Hi!
So what type of Jack is everyone running? I am looking to get a portable jack, not a floor jack. I have a Bottle Jack with me at all times but after leveling the truck I need to use blocks underneath it for it to actually lift a tire off the ground. I'd like to leave it in the truck at all times so that it's always with me. I have sliders that I can Jack from so I have that option too.
I am considering the following:
Hi Lift Jacks worry me a bit. Don't want to damage myself or the vehicle. Jack plus mount runs about $200ish.
Bottle Jacks are..... well, just bottle jacks. Safe Jack is pricey but not as much as ARB. $300ish
Anyone have experience with these? Any recommendations? Anything else that I should be considering?
