Hello

So what's everyone doing on their lifted JL's and their factory scissor jack ? i know about the huge jacks everyone installs on the outside of their trucks, but for now is there a booster for our jacks that also can secure the bottom platform so it wont slip ?

I have a 4 inch thick piece of wood I keep in the truck storage bay. It is wide enough to provide a stable base for the scissor jack. Planning on getting a bottle jack in the future.

The AEV suspension kit includes such a booster. They sell it separately too: https://www.aev-conversions.com/product/jl-jack-base/

I keep a bottle jack in the Jeep when I'm offroading or on a trip. Otherwise I'll just call AAA if it's in town. ?????
"if its in town" lol

I use a hi lift jack base with the factory scissor jack…it’s nice and wide to help with softer ground…… I also use my M18 impact with a 13mm socket to spin it, raises it in seconds……

In addition to the factory scissor Jack I bought a small bottle jack from Walmart that fits in the storage compartment. It's been almost a year, no leaks.

I thought it was bad to lay bottle jacks over on their side?
