Bottle Jack Accessories / Cradle & Fixtures (1 Viewer)

[Chipmaker]

Hi...Can someone help me with a recommendation for bottle jack accessories/attachments source? My basic need begins with a cradle to assist in replacing my rear axle assembly, will need to cradle both a 2 3/8" and 3" axle using my 6ton bottle jack ram or screw. I found one company (Safe jack) that has a kit with other fixtures and extenders. I tried to find other suppliers to see other options, but no luck. I am thinking a kit would also be good when off-roading in my truck if I should get stuck.

I just got mine from @LandCruiserPhil a week or so ago, and agree that they are very nice and quality bits of kit. It fits perfectly in the bin on the passenger side cargo area with the jack, too!

I like the Phil's cradle for the stock bottle jack. Unsure if it'll work with you 6-ton bottle?

Another tool I find handy in the garage for safe lifting and moving around heavy assemblies. With various cradles built out of wood. HF has a 500lb version for about $100 less than this.

Something to keep in mind: a bottle jack probably won't work if you are changing a flat tire. If the tire is flat, then the axle will be too low and too close to the ground to fit a bottle jack under it. And, even if you could barely fit it under the axle, it won't have enough travel to lift the axle up high enough to get the tire off, and a fully inflated tire back on. So you'll be using the factory screw jack, which is very short when collapsed, but extends a long way.

Many years ago in a previous life I was a Field Engineer working in the oil field. One of our sand trucks got a flat on the inside rear tire, but he didn't realize it until it also flattened the outer tire (dual tires, dual rear axles). So we called for a mechanic to bring out 2 spares and a jack. Truck weight was about 60,000 lbs, so it needed to be a stout jack. Took a couple of hours for him to show up, but it was apparent that there was no way we were gonna get the jack under the rear axle, it was too tall. In desperation (we were very late now for an important frac job), I grabbed the little screw jack out of his F250, and darned if it didn't lift that truck up enough to get the 20T bottle jack under there to lift it the rest of the way. I wouldn't have believed it, if I hadn't done it myself. We were all amazed that it worked, but it saved the day.

Exactly why the factory Toyota jack and an LCP jack adapter is the best for our Land Cruisers.

Thanks for the mints!
