Car Jack

Did you keep what came from the factory or is there something else that is compact and appears stronger? Sure is a big truck for a little jack.

Bottle jack and 4 ton Jack stands. When I'm around the Ranch I have a big 3.5 ton service jack. (Napa lifting Equip)

I went out and bought a 20 ton bottle jack after I broke the stock jack trying to change out a flat on my trailer and my trailer weighs less than 1K LBS more than the truck kind of scary! Now with the 20 ton I can even change a flat on my trailer while it has 3 cars loaded up.

I also have a 20 ton jack. It was the only one left on the self at Sam"s Club Warehouse. I just had to buy it for $20 bucks! I have used it several times to jack the wheels up so I could rotate the tires. I also use it to check the brakes on my RV. Works great.
