    What’s up Tundra team,

    I’m looking for recommendations on bottle jacks for my Tundra. Hoping to have one that can replace the space of the stock one since the truck is modded out now. Something to use on my adventures that is easily stored in the CrewMax and has the height extension since it is lifted

    Thanks y’all!

    Check out safejacks.com. They have a bunch of jacks and accessories for lifted trucks.

    Bottle jacks suck. Spend the extra $ and get a floor jack with an extender. Could get away with a 2 ton but a 3 ton is better .

    I agree. I’m looking for an upgrade for trail and easy storage. Safe jack sold me on the simplicity of use and easy storage.

    Thanks for the link to safejacks. Do we need to purchase the jack too or will their accessory kit fit our stock jack?

    I bought mine with the jack included, figured it wouldn't hurt to have a spare...

    For anyone wondering, the 6 ton bottle jack with the accessories from Safe Jack can easily replace stock bottle jack without any mods. Here are a few photos, also on my build page :thumbsup:

    Did you guys just buy the standard 6 ton recovery kit? Was that enough for a 3" lifted tundra? Or should I purchase extra extensions like the adjustable one?

    I have the same question. Would the 3” attachment be enough for a 3” lift?

    The 3” extension was not enough for me to lift the front tire off the ground with 3” lift and 35” tires from the frame. I did not buy a kit, just individual pieces, and their jack had some meh reviews so just got a Husky from Home Depot.

    You guys are jacking up Bigfoot LOL a couple short 6x6 blocks with the screw jack will do it. Don't jack the frame itself jack the rearend housing or the lower control arm. The blocks need to be about a foot long in case you need a chock for something
