I wonder if anyone has every tried that under an axle with a flat tire.
It's one thing to fit a jack under the axle when the tires are full of air, but something else when one is not.

I am going with he old bottle jack and this jack buddy thing I bought that will cradle the axle. Tomorrow I will hit the store for a bottle jack and see how stable this little thing is. For kicks and to see if the old wife was still gullible I told her it was a bottle liquid level device to make sure fluid stays perfectly level inside the bottle (YES) she bought it hahaha then used some four letter words.

Where did you get this cradle for the bottle jack?

I ended up buying a 12 ton bottle jack as it fit the adapter better then the 8 ton, this setup seems to work great on flat ground and I assume it will work just fine on dirt trails with a few wood blocks.

I just checked the stock scissor jack on the mopar lift and 35's and it just barely worked.
I plan to get this and i'm sure it will work with yours too.

I'm under the impression that a hi-lift needs compatible bumpers.
Did you ever buy this? Can you show how it fits in the rear storage area? The AEV model fits tucked into the small far left side. Only photo I can of one in the back is on Quadratec and it’s right in the middle of the big right side.

I didn't get it yet. Part of me thinks it might be fine to just pile up some dirt/rocks under the jack.
Like another post, maybe just a couple 2x4's
