Hi Lift Jack or Bottle Nose?

[ZONA]

Just curious as to how some of you guys go about changing the bigger tires on your rigs out on the trails.

One guy told me he takes a chain and wraps it around his axle and also around the frame to keep the suspension from drooping and then he uses a high jack on the sliders. Another guy told me he just uses a bottlenose on his diffs.

What methods do some of you use and what's your tool of choice?

switched from Highlift to bottlenose and find it to be more usefull.

Been wondering about this. I know the High Lift is useful in a lot of ways other than as a jack. I did see a "bag" style jack sold by $ wheel Parts Warehouse. It is made by ARB and sells for around $200.00.

What the hell is a bottlenose jack? I am assuming you mean bottle jack.

a good bottle jack can be found in 70 ish datsuns and toyotas it is gear driven 2 stage cast iron. so it is strong and will work upside down or sideways.

I carry both the stock scissor jack and a 48" Hi-Lift. I would not leave home without the Hi-Lift, I have used it too many times to not bring it.

I agree...I kick myself that I didn't pull the one from my '95 yota before I traded it in :D
