Stock jack with 3" lift

So I haven't had to use it yet (knock on wood), but it occurred to me the other day that I'm not 100% sure if my stock jack would work if I got a flat since I installed my lift.

I grabbed a 4" block and threw it in the back for now, but has anyone actually tried the stock jack with a 3" lift? I'd really like to avoid having to get a hi-lift jack if possible.

Thanks.

 

Blocks with factory jack is fine. But give it a try testing out in controlled environment before you need to use it.

I carry this in my truck 24/7.

I never want to use the POS stock jack and also I trailer without my trailer jack. To be honest though never used it.

 

Do you secure it? I have too much loose stuff.

 

I have a plastic container on floor back seat.

I keep extra hub, grease and tools for my trailer just in case. No one really rides in the back so its not an issue for me.

 

I had something similar to this when I had my JK years ago:



It would work with just about any bottle type jack.

In an emergency you may be ok since lifting (not a spacer lift) a Runner simply takes away downtravel that is already calculated in to the lifting height into the jack. You may have a little bit of an issue with taller tires but for sure a block or a jack base will take care of that.
