Hi all,

I'm having a hard time confirming where the JLU's factory jack is located. There looks to be an obvious spot in the trunk under the lifting carpet however I don't have a jack there! Any help would be much appreciated!

Thank you,

yea the stock one does work on 35s. from stock 32s its only 1.5" of height gained at the dif. but a few 2x4s 6" long stowed in the other larger stow would help not to be extended up that much on scissors. rear shock mount hangs down below axle.
front , lower control arm mount is low point.

I have two bottle jacks and the stock. small bottle jack fits with scissors and few other tools like a large breaker bar funny how it all squirrels in there. larger bottle is in the larger stow with blocks of wood few 2x4x6 and one 4x6 and a bunch of other stuff.

what they dont show is someone lifting a 130 pounds of tire and wheel on to the tail gate after you changed. you will get it off gravity helps. but clean and jerk that up not hit the threads. The jacking it up is the easy part......

tire is 83lbs and the bead lock is 47lbs. 37s. I know my wife could not do it. even when she was young. heavy wheel to hump.
