Todd B Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Not for me. Everything has to be in the perfect world. The height of the axle, flat solid ground, stop at the exact correct time and the big one I see is how often do you jack up your trailer when the tires are full of air. My two cents, thanks for sharing it was interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg g Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 In the car I have a scissors jack, and an 18 inch square of 3/4 in plywood. When we travel, one of my trolley jacks goes in, but wife's cell phone and AAA card will be first employed these days. I also carry one jack stand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmartin_egroup Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Hi: Regarding a couple of the posts in this topic, If you have a flat tire, realize that the axle or whatever part you want to put the jack under, will be a lot closer to the ground than normal. Measure the available space from axle to ground when you have a flat tire! The jack will have to fit in there or will not work. Also plan on a block to make a large base to set under the jack if ground is soft. Also, carry blocks or some type of wheel chocks, at least enough to place in front AND behind one of the tires on opposite side of car from the flat. When you start turning the lug nuts on a rear wheel, often the car will try to move forward or back, since many of our vehicles's parking brake prevents the drive shaft from turning but the rear wheels can still be rotated if one is off the ground. Just food for thought. Dennis M. in W. Tenn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it depends on ability and mindset and how much of a pickle you are in. I find the price prohibitive but I don't think it looks too hard or impractical. No harder than driving onto a set of car ramps. That always gives me cause to pucker but I still use them (until I can get a nice lift) but not for flats, obviously. https://trestlejacksusa.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plymouthy Adams Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 sometimes I wonder if folks take 5 seconds and truly ponder what it is that holds a car's suspension in place which is not much then add in the fact that even with a very warmed over engine...these components stay yet the same... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
