This outfit was making a heavy duty off road scissor jack based on the HMMWV jack. They just made axle/frame saddles and sold it as a kit. Nice setup. Not sure if they are still available. https://agileoffroad.com/product/h1-3-5-ton-scissor-jack/

 

[Tank the Jeep]

I have a huge 24" 7500lb scissor jack in my cubby compartment.

Does this jack fit where the factory jack fits? In the back under the screw tray?

? No way. It fits diagonally from one corner to the other in the big cubby space.

Ohh crap... I am going to have to fabricate one for you in Anti-Seize Silver.. LOL

My Jeep was red before I started putting anti-seize on things.

But now I think I can get thru the squeeze on Pinyon trail, no sweat.

Hi-Lift jacks and double scissors are just accidents waiting to happen unless you only remove wheels in a dry and level Walmart parking lot.

Guess you've never changed a flat on the trail. I've done it over a dozen times in the last few years.

EXAMPLE AIRBAG JACK

It can lift an incredible 31.5-inch (800 mm) height without other equipment.
Have you read the reviews, they're bad.

I’m not bagging on anyone’s wobbly jacks, folks can do as they do, it’s their damage, not mine.

That said, anyone who’s been around a spell has seen a hi-lift or two kick out. Double jacks at elevation (as well as hi-lifts) can’t stand grade and can get wobbly.

I’m not saying they don’t work (history doesn’t lie), just saying I’ve seen enough near misses that I think modern lift methods have the edge. I’m going to guess you’re more cautious and specific than most which is why you’re not a member of the “oh shit” club or you’re damn lucky….. LOL

Sorry for the shitty example, some folks confuse air jacks with air bag jacks so I tossed an Amazon special for visualization.

Like I said, EMS and heavy wreckers use the hell out of these because they conform to underfoot conditions for outstanding stability and they conform to whatever you’re trying to lift so you can push without concentrating the pressure at a narrow lift point.

I haven’t tried mine as a come-a-long yet….heh heh

PS - Damn fine rock bed you found there! Where was that at if I may ask?

I've seen two in the last year.
