Anyway, even my floor jack barely reaches the frame, hydraulic bottle jacks do not either...
So, my double question is: what does the stock jack look like?
What do you guys use?
Thanks

The center post on most of them is threaded and will add 4-6" of height to the jack. You can put it under the front or rear axle and should be able to get the tire off the ground so you can change it. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 293 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 293 | Thanks, Don. I guess I should have mentionned that my truck has 4-wheel independent suspension, '77 Camaro in the front and '86 Corvette at the rear, so either lifting the chassis or lifting the differential in the back, the wheels still hang low and I need to lift a lot...
