What jack do you recommend to store in your trunk?

Hi friends

I have an oem scissor jack stored in my trunk but never had a chance to use it yet (touch wood)

With a 2” lift, I don’t know if it is able to lift the truck up when needing to change a spare tire.

Interested to hear what you guys keep in your trunk.

Thanks

lift rods don't affect maximum droop, the shocks do when they're fully extended, so unless you install a SYA kit the factory jack should reach fine. Some people use a small bottle jack, there's a dimple in the lower control arms that you can use to lift just one wheel.

I have the OEM jack of course, but the jack I would actually use is a 2 ton bottle jack.
It stores very nicely in it's plastic case in the little side chambers in the way back.


Here is a video I put together with some jacking tips and tricks.
Hope it's useful.

I carry a 2T and 8T bottle jack. Here's how I swap a single tire with a 2T bottle jack

. 8T with 2x6 boards for everything else. Scissor jack as a backup.

Bottle jack for changing a single tire. Hi-Lift so I can get two wheels offs the ground if needed, but I have the T4x4 sliders that have a nice convenient rail to use a jacking point that spans the entire length between the wheel wells.
