    So I did a bit of a forum search and the few threads that I was able to match up with my description recommended a Craftsman 3 or a Badlands Off Road jack.
    My concern is that with the lift and tire setup that I have, my OEM bottle jack will not do the job if I need to change a flat tire. (Side note, I’ve ridden around like this for years and just now considered the fact that I might have to change a tire on the side of the road:smack:)
    Anyway, what jack are y’all carrying around in the case of a flat tire and how are you using it?

    This is helpful. Thank you. The moment you search the forum for the word “jack”, holy shit. Oh, try” bottle jack”, 50 threads on a bottle of Jack :rofl:

    The 3 ton bottle jack that Tractor Supply sells. Works for lifted trucks.

    edit: 4 must have been a typo. I carry a 3/ton. I think there's a 6-ton option as well.

    If changing a flat is your only concern then bottle jacks. If you think you’re going to wheel hard enough to break other things by accident or have a history of bad luck (CV axles, tie rods, etc) then I’d carry a floor jack (and I’d carry a jack stand).

    I think the correct answer is, you need a Jack Mamba.

    When you choose a jack, get in touch with @bmf4069 to make stickers for it that say "JACK MAMBA" to pass around on the forum. We'll all sticker our shop jacks and OEM jacks as "JACK MAMBA" brand.

    I’m so sorry to have been busy enough today to miss this. “Jack Mamba” is being ordered thanks to @FirstGenVol . Also, a bottle of Jack was ordered to match :cheers:
