OEM Jack replacements?

[Darksteel165]

What are people using for a portable jack?
I'm looking for something I can fit her fit under the seat or in the Ramboxes.

I use a bottle jack. Fit in my previous truck's RAMBox and fits in my new trucks SwingCase.

I second the bottle jack.

I have always found bottlejacks are very hard to use because of the small surface area. Where do you guys aim it?

If I am jacking up the rear, on the axle. If I am jacking up the front, lower control arm.

Wow price has gone up. I bought it for $41 back in 2017.

That's the same exact one I bought in 2021.
It broke sitting under my table doing nothing. Oil was everywhere. Was $71 back then.
Never even got a chance to use it.

Neat idea but all I see is four different leaks that needs repairing.

Man, oh man, that stuff is pricey! I'll stick with a block of 4"x4" wood as my accessory. LMAO

^^^ so expensive. Can't see spending $300-400 on a portable jack especially if I don't go off-road ING. And a plank of wood is fine for the beach

I my issues I have with bottle jacks is the small footprint and sinking into the ground if you aren't in hard pack or pavement, or easy to tip over for same reasons, or on uneven ground. Sure you can carry a chunk or wood or something for a bae, and a shovel to level ground, but that's just more stuff to have to carry.

That sucks. I've had mine since 2017. I love the wide flat base. It doesn't sink if used on dirt/ground. The safety lock is great since it's half bottle jack, half jack stand. The only thing I don't like is the the short pump handle. I've used it on my Pathfinder, but I haven't used it on the Ram yet. Right now it's just an emergency tool for long road trips. I primarily use HF low profile long reach 3T jack.
