Thanks for the input, guys… what did our AD trucks come with originally? Was it a mechanical bottle jack? I have the original spare tire carrier on the bed side, so I might try to weld up some kind of bracket on the back of the tire mounting plate to hold a scissor jack? Just an idea…


Achipmonk, I might have room under the seat for that style of jack, but it sounds really heavy. Although easy to use once it’s on the ground!
