Decent factory screw jack recommendation?

[spaggyroe]

So, I’d like to snag a screw jack from the PnP to carry in my Bronco. I have changed tires with a high lift and don’t love it. I don’t want to carry anything hydraulic because leaks.

Any suggestions for a good, factory screw jack that lifts high enough to actually use on a lifted rig with 35’s

Thanks.

@YJ_Auzzy Mint bastard had an impressive looking scissor jack in it. Its a 90s style chev pickup. Mint bastard thread

I don't know about any screw jack tall enough to lift a tall rig, maybe find one you could weld a jackstandish thing underneath?

I'm pretty partial to my exhaust jack, myself.

A popular option is a factory jack from a H1 Hummer, you can find them on Ebay but they aren't cheap.

The AEV lift I put on my wife's JL a couple weeks ago came with a base to put the factory scissor jack on, to make it work with a lift and big tires. You could make something to duplicate the functionality with another factory jack.

What shape do you want? (scissor-type or bottle-type?) I'm pretty partial to the compact size of the Toyota bottle jacks, and they go pretty high since they're a 3-stage thing. People often use a little "cradle" on top to make them less slippy when jacking too, you can see it here on this IFS example:

I'm thinking bottle type. Carl, I didn't know that the toyota jacks were dual stage like that. That may be the ticket.

Thanks guys.

Looks like Fords are also, but they have a built-in "saddle" at the top so they're either better, or worse. (if you want to put a thing on top of the round top)

That one says it's from a 2000-2011 Super Duty. This one from an F150 looks like it might be the same jack? Which also means Rangers and Esploders, potentially.

Isuzu Trooper's (2nd Gen's) and Rodeo/Amigo's have bottle jacks that are identical to the Toyota ones.

Perfect. Time to go comb the pick n pull.


Thanks again gents!

My super duty has a TALL jack

My super duty has a TALL jack

can confirm that the super duty jack will get REALLY tall, if you wanted a scissor you can get a late model chev. had a work truck that was a chev dually and the scissor jack surprised me when an idiot managed to shred a tire and rim on it. the scissor was surprisingly beefy as it was a 3500 truck with 33's and it didn't have an issue getting the tires off the ground with plenty of travel to spare.

Offroad Scissor Jack Kit

This convenient kit utilizes a Harbor Freight scissor jack and plates we’ve designed to cradle and securely raise the axle of a vehicle. The bottom platform helps spread the load more evenly to keep the jack from sinking into the sand or soft dirt. An electric impact can be used to raise and...

I use this and it’s great, it goes very high and has good capacity. I just bought the kit and sourced my own jack for warranty purposes.

Also. The trailer supply store has some MONSTER scissor jacks. I just looked at the ones on my 5th wheel: and they'll easily lift a 40" tire.

Good to know. Thanks!!

I run a scissor jack setup like Trate's and it's pretty slick. If space is an issue, you can add wingnuts to the bolts for quick breakdown and storage.
