I had a flat in the driveway last night. I thought I would just pump and plug and be good to go.....wrong. The valve stem is rotted, cut or broke. Anyway I decided to check out the OEM tire jack.....hahahahahha...are you kidding me! I ended up using a 2 ton bottle jack...all I had...and a jack stand. I still had to use numerous bricks and blocks of wood with it.

 

What are yall using.

 

What is the best for a up to 33" tire with taking up the least carrying space?

I use a jack out of an E250, it's bigger than the stock Bronco jack. My stock Bronco jack won't get the tires off the ground. I don't particularly like the Ford jacks and always use jack stands and chocks with it to be on the safe side.

i had a similiar problem my floor jack nor my bottle jack goes high enough to get my 35's off the ground without a few cinderblocks to help. So i went to the local junkyard and bought an old school bumper jack and it gets it off the ground about 5 inches. My plan is to fab up the base to a larger block of some sort to get another 8 inches or so out of it, that way when i lift it the jack will still work. I paid 10 bucks for the jack and tire iron cheap lightweight solution and i have it mounted in the back beside the compressor.

I picked up a 3ton mini floor jack at Auto Zone for around 50.00 it fits nicely in the back and just make sure you have a piece of wood or it will sink into the ground if not on hard surfices
