Floor jack question

[arjusmc]

So I swapped out my sport suspension with rubicon suspension on my JLU as well as added 33s. I have two questions, one what lift height do I need for a floor jack? I borrowed a friend’s jack to do the suspension, and his was way overkill (12 ton) Much more than I wanted to spend, but he works on some larger vehicles. Second question, is the sport scissor jack the same as the rubicon? Will I need to upgrade that? I don’t want to get left stranded.

Thanks

For road trips, Mall duty......in the JL, along with the scissor jack... to use in conjunction with the scissor jack.... have one of these (or similar, less expensive product offering) or carry a piece of doctored, 4x4 with you at all times.

Hint: Also carry a 16" breaker bar and socket to break the lugs loose. I keep the breaker bar with socket, in a piece of foam pipe insulation in back... no rattles thanks to foam.

I have 3 floor jacks, but for jacking the truck and jeep, I use this Harbor Freight jack beam attachment on one of their aluminum jacks, which I carry in the truck on trips. The extra height is needed and then the end pads have screw thread adjustable height.
