EZ Jack

Shawn6string · 01-04-2009, 11:44 AM

Here is a little something I saw a friend of mine using and I thought it was pretty cool

Be sure and weld it good

Low profile, can get under anything. downside is it may not be so good for those real high lifted trucks

Get a cordless half in drive impact and a few of these to throw in your rig out on the trail.
Always use jack stands while working under the vehicle
Use at your own risk!!!!! As with anything else.

Any thoughts, I bet a few of you already thought of this.

Naw, the rest of us use proper jacks

Using a scissor jack on a Toyota truck is incredibly unsafe, not to mention they really don't go high enough to be of any use. However, in a pinch/bind, this would be a useable option. Just make sure you weld it up good so it doesn't break from the required torque.

I don't use it to lift the truck but to do things like change springs its great to hold the tension so you can take out the bolts.

Yea yall are probably right , not the most stable thing to jack with. But it would probably come in handy for holding up springs, maybe other light duty stuff.
