Jack question

[outlawten5]

For you guys with 4/6 or more static drop on your dailys. What are you using for a jack in case of flats? I have a small floor jack that wont fit under the frame with tires inflated, much less flat

I haven't thought that far ahead. I just noticed over the weekend that my harbor fright floor jack just barely fits under the frame with 235/75R115 tires. I'll probably just get a small jack and go under the control arm/axle if I need to change a flat tire.

I don't have a dropped truck, but I would think a low profile jack would work. I have a floor jack that only needs about 3 inches of clearance to get under the car/truck. Look into low profile jacks or racing jacks.

I have one of the mini floor jacks and it wont fit under the control arm or front crossmember. I'll check into the low profile jacks. I might actually remove the wheels and weld skids to make it lower

Is your truck bagged and slammed? If not, this or one like it should work, you only need 2.75" of ground clearance...

Ive had my c1500 (4/6) for a year and not had a flat yet. But now you got me thinking what if...

Does the factory jack not fit under/lift a 4/6 truck? Will I have trouble getting the spare out?

I have to take the cup off the top of my floor jack to lift the front in my garage, and the valance gets in the way, So I have two planks of 2x8" wood to drive up onto...

Planks of wood are a great idea. I really don't want to carry around a full size floor jack. Although that low rider jack would be great for the garage

For in the shop I use these from Harbor Freight... as far as to carry on the road a small aluminum "racing jack" should work...
