OEM jack with 34" tires?

Just got new tires. 295/70-18 and about 2.2" lift in front and 1" back.

How much extension does the OEM jack give for on road tire changes?

I've been meaning to check this physically myself but need to remove a baby seat. I need to relocate the jack because of that anyways but if it's already too short of just look into other options.

For now I have a block of wood in the bed just in case

So, does the OEM jack lift high enough to change out up to 34" tires?

 

I had a 2015 SR5 with a lift/level and oversized tires (can't remember the size) and it pushed the limits of the jack and what I was comfortable using. I ended up keeping some of the leveling pads I used for my travel trailer in the cab under the rear seat.

 

I measured this the other day, max height is 19.25".

 

How do you like your high lift? I've never used one but I've been curious and tempted to get one

 

Had a 6" lifted Tun with 35' , I cut 2x10x10 screwed 4 of them together, OEM Jack sits about inch away from rear axle, and a bit tight on front end

 

I keep a plastic "milk carton" in the bed that has various 2x6's 1x4's, etc. in it. Than I got a 3 ton bottle jack and put it in the back. My theory? If I have to pull off to the side of the road and the diagnosis is that a wheel has to come off then I'm already gonna be pissed (and I live in the deep south where most of the year it's hot as hell). So I want a quick and easy Fo Sho solution.

 

I haven't look into aftermarket bottle Jack's yet. But is it better to buy a new one with enough reach or keep OEM and just use blocks?

I just remembered I have some of those levelinm blocks for RVs that I could use. Maybe that's my best solution.

 

I had a similar question in this thread:

I have a 3 to 1 Kings lift with 35x12.5R17 and was able to use the OEM jack to lift my rear driver tire off the ground to change. I used the rear axle, close to the tire, to lift up the rear driver tire off the ground. I maxed out the jack and was able to have about 1 to 1.5cm of clearance. Not going to lie, the OEM jack scares me with that small area of contact that it has. I will be getting a bottle jack with an axle cradle attachment in the future.

 

I have 285/75/18s (35” tall) with a 1” rear lift and 2” front lift.

I can safely remove the rear tires using the stock jack on level ground. For the front I have 2 square cut pieces of 5/4 decking screwed together that I place under the stock jack.

I store the block of wood inside my spare tire which is flipped upside down underneath the truck.

 

Get a Hi-Jack Extreme. My truck was beyond the limits of any OEM jack (37" Tires, 3"lift) and I have N-Fab Rock Rails, which provide multiple jack points. It's about the only setup I can use, but I've been happy with the Hi-Lift. Very well built and the lift capacity is awesome.

 

I'm wondering about something like this...

that’s sharp. Storage in the truck sucks though I’m sure.

 

Plenty of room in my bed...not an issue for me

 

I’ll stick with my blocks of wood for now.

 

I have the same set up and my OEM barely works also. I'll be upgrading eventually to Pro Eagle or something.

 

I use a block of 4x6 wood with the oem jack. I have 2” up front and 1” in the back. I’m only on 33” tires at that.

 

Trailer Supply Co. has a 3 ton bottle Jack for cheap that works well and can lift 35”. I vote for one of those. Never hurts to carry a block too though.

 

Yea, that is a good solution. Those Pro Eagles are so expensive it's just not worth it almost.

 

What is everyone using as a jacking point? If it’s the rear axle or front knuckle, then only the tire diameter affects the reach.

 

Exactly, I am using those jacking points... not the frame or anything else

 

Get a 6 ton bottle jack. It’ll fit right behind the rear passenger seat.

if you prefer to use a jack, get a harbor freight jack and get the Pro Eagle extension to use on it.

 

FWIW I recently jacked up the front of my truck several times with the OEM scew jack, and it has plenty of travel for 37s. Used a 3/4" plywood base (I was on gravel), and on top a piece of aluminum plate, 3/4" ply, foam... under the frame cross member.
