| Post subject: | Standard Jack with 2.5" Lift? |
I've just installed CRDSTU's 2.5" lift kit with JBA's UCA's. My Question is, Does anyone with a lift still have, or use the standard jack supplied with the vehicle? If you use a high-lift jack, Where do you store it? |

I noticed that, too. My OEM jack was only just able to do the job when my Jeep was standard !! I carry a 7K bottle jack and one axle stand on board |

If you have the HiLift - offroad base - it's also great under the OEM jack |

I broke the stock jack the first time I used it and I'm not even lifted yet. Bought a 48" Hi-Lift and right now it resides in the back cargo area. |

48" farm jack, keep it mounted on the spare tire carrier. "Bought a 48" Hi-Lift and right now it resides in the back cargo area" I'd make sure it's well secured, I was considering mounting mine in the cargo area, but then someone wisely pointed out that god forbid I get in an accident/roll over you don't want that thing flying around the interior decapating passengers (well I suppose that depends on the passenger). |

The 48-inch hi-lift will fit under the rear seats. Very tight fit but no worries about it coming loose either. My 2002 came with a smallish bottle jack. I guess they went to scissor jacks later? I still use the stock bottle jack on the rear wheels even with a lift. But on the front, suspension droop will keep the wheels on the ground without something (my shop manual or the hi-lift base) under the stock jack to boost the height. |

Well I guess I have an excuse for a weekend project. I haven't figured out how I want to mount it but with the wife and kids at her folks house I got all the time in the world (after work...chores...grocery shopping....ok almost all the time in the world) As far as the passenger well ......I had one of those but I off loaded hear years ago. I told her dad he could have her back  My wife now is a keeper.

I just happened across this jack, it seems to me to be one heck of a price for a good jack. 18 5/8" lift is the only concern, since my jeep isn't lifted yet i don't know if that'll be enough to suit most of you, but i always carry around a cinder block and a couple chunks of wood when i'm in the mountains, just stick it on top of the wood for extra height, anyways here it is. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00950284000P?vName=Tools&cName=Mechanics+Tools&sName=Lift+Equipment |
