I know this is an old post, but I was looking for information about how tall of a jack I should purchase. I had the problem with the jack not raising the tire enough to take it off (I tried putting it under the frame), and then out of desperation, I put it under the spring and tucked a stand under it quickly.
I decided to purchase a bottle jack and wanted to know if anyone knows what the height of jack that I should purchase. If anyone could help me I would appreciate it.
By the way, I downloaded a manual for my jeep and saw the jack point locations.
For the front tires, place it in the notch on the body weld seam behind wheel to be changed.
For the rear tires, place it under the axle by the wheel to be changed.It's on page 305 of the manual, but it doesn't say anything about the jack height.
