Stock Jack with 285's? (1 Viewer)

[SunTzuMD]

Moving up to 285's - will my stock jack lift my FZJ80 anymore? Just want to make sure I can change a flat on the road still.

I have used stock jack to change 285 tire both on and off road.

I have changed my 37" tires with the stock jack.

stock jack is da bomb!

folks seem to just give them away sometimes...I have a couple sitting in my garage.

???? your new tires are not even 1/2 an inch different in radius from stock - who jacks straight from the ground unless they Have to anyway??? you want to crank that thing 150 turns before it hits the axle housing?? I always put it on wood/cinder block whatever - hell - we've even jacked up houses/cellars with it

x2 - throw a couple blocks of wood in the cubby with the jack.

I also carry a medium sized bottle jack. I think it has about 18" or so of height fully extended.

Love dem stock jacks, especially the older ones that could be opened and rebuilt.

Keep 2 in the truck as they make decent jack stands in the boonies.

The HiLift off road base holds the stock jack perfectly and makes up enough height difference to change 35s easy. Everyone should have one of these on board.

x10, you never can have too many tools in the toolbox. Though many of us run 35's and 37's, I bet no one has pitched out their OEM jack due to that fact.

My 80 didn't come with a jack, how tall does the stock jack go? I need to get one before I have a flat.

I used the stock jack once with my 305/70/16 BFG KM's

Had to reposition it a couple of times because I wasn't on a level surface (shoulder), but it worked
