I just did my first oil change and tire rotation on my lifted 4runner. Had to use a bunch of hardwood blocks with my mechanics jack, and the jack stands I have are way too short to make it to the frame with the suspension extended. This experience made me think about changing a tire on the trail and I went looking for a solution. This is the best solution I’ve found. Nice work and thank you. I’ll be getting mine soon.
Awesome. Bottle jacks are just safer to use. The safe Jack with its accessories make it perfect. I still carry a wood block or two just for better footing in dirt or mud. Thanks for watching
Factoring in operator error is a tough road to hoe when reviewing jacks for sure. Been wheeling since 1974 and I am on Jeep number six so I know it all too well. Count me as a regular on your channel from now on. Thumbs up.
I often gave this problem some thought and am going to make an extension for my stock jack . I'm glad i watched the vid.this beats a bunch of blocks of wood.
I carry a bottle jack (not as nice as this one) for use when not at home (hydraulic floor jack always at home). I grew up in the era where 'bumper jacks' (essentially like the farm jack) were the norm. Rather dangerous, prone to tipping, they could also kick back violently if you didn't hit the 'latch point' of the stroke. I did see one abruptly tip while attempting to change a tire on the trail. Fortunately no people were hurt, though the Jeep was damaged.
Nicely done demo video! We like bottle jacks vs. hi-lift for a majority of our lifting needs. Really like the multiple attachments! One of these jack models is definitely on our short list of future purchases.
Sure, that's great if you want to rotate the tires, and all tires are infllated. What about the worst case scenario, where you have a flat that is all the way down? Will you be able to get the jack and your adapter saddle under an axle tube????? I doubt it.
It works perfectly with a flat tire, remember the video title is "safest jack for lifted vehicles" lifted vehicles being the key here. In the video I'm using an extension under the axle cradle, the whole set up gets shorter if needed and will likely work on stock Jeeps but I don't know anyone with a stock height Jeep to try this on. thanks for watching
Bottle jacks are safe to use. If you have straight axles front and rear it’s easy to just place the bottle Jack under one of the axle tubes and Jack up the flat tire off the ground
Definitivamente un muy eficiente conjunto de piezas. In case you do not understand. I mean it is a very efficient system of pieces for lifting... Aufwiedersehen.. Saludos desde Costa Rica..
It can and will rattle at times. I took thin foam and wrapped up a few parts and place foam in the bottom. This resolved any rattle concerns. Thanks for watching
Depends on the surface you’re using it on. Safe Jacks offers a wider base plate that the Jack mounts to for better stability. You could probably come up with something of your own. Thanks for watching
Excellent video sir. Question... Could you please take a measurement of the width of the cradle attachment. I'm not talking about how wide the jaw opening is...rather how wide is it the other way so I know how much space it will occupy on the axle. So if the jaw opening is the length then what is the width? The Jack points for my front axle according to the owners manual of where they want me to place the jack is only 1.5" wide. That's why I want to know. And it's not anywhere on the safe jack website. Thank you so much in advance.
Great video, Dirt Hammers. This package is available in an ammo box or a canvas bag -- being that you chose the ammo box, do the contents rattle inside at all, while you are out on the trails?
Thank you and yes you’re correct. Ammo can and bag. It can rattle in the ammo can but I put a few pieces of thin foam between the parts to help with rattles. Thanks for watching
If the surface is flat then it’s stable, like on the road, driveway, or any packed offroad area. The base plate they offer is nice as it fastens down the bottle Jack but some just carry square piece of plywood or blocks.
Hey brother nice jack and video. Gonna get this one but I have a question for you. What bumper is that on your Jeep it’s a nice one. Can you let me know please and thanks in advance.
I thought bottle jacks were to always be stored UPRIGHT. Older guys who've used them for decades claim horizontal storage is a sure way to guarantee premature failure.
They have had some price increases since the video but you are really paying for the American Made attachments for the jack. It's still just a bottle jack can can be sourced at Harbor Freight and other stores. Thanks for watching
I've never understood why anybody thinks using a farm jack as a come-along is a benefit to a farm jack. Great, you can move your truck three feet at a time. Meanwhile, an actual come-along is like $50 and will move your rig several times as far with much less effort and much more safety. Farm jacks are useless to me.
My perspective is from a lifted vehicle, which means the jack would have to be under the axle due to the suspension travel, which would change conditions I’m sure.
@@jeeptroll7961 any jack that’s used can be dangerous. Bottle jacks are a little my more dummy proof than a farm jack (hi-lift) in my opinion for most people. In the driveway it’s easier to take extra precautions (frame stands) to make jacking up a vehicle safer but off-road we may not always have that luxury. Using you head to think through the process, slow down, evaluate the situation, etc will make it safer for sure. Too many times off-road I see people get into a hurry because a vehicle is broken or stuck, slow down and get un-need people away from the vehicle. Thanks for watching
Safest Jack for Lifted Vehicle?
only if you carry a jack stand with it, otherwise no
Lots of folks carry a square wooden base or safe Jack offers a base plate as well.

Thanks for watching
That's straight forward nice jack system, compact and convenience take less space. Definitely add to my wish list. Thank you for making video.
Yeah I’m super happy with it. I think it will be the safest option as well. Thanks for watching

Love bottle jacks, just safer for sure. Very first trip after installing my farm jack I had to use it on a buddies Jeep lol. Thanks for watching
Great job! I really want one now. Compact and easy to use. The price is up there, but I think its worth it.
Thanks for watching!!! Love how compact it is.
Brother, you just changed my mind about that farm jack. The bottle is more convenient.
Farm jacks have a use and I keep one but for Jeep repairs the bottle is the safest to use. Thanks for watching
The Dominion Off Road kit mounts it inside onto the rear roll bar. I have one and it works great.
Don’t believe I have seen that mounting solution. I’ll have to google it and check it out. Thanks
Nicely done demo video! We like bottle jacks vs. hi-lift for a majority of our lifting needs. Really like the multiple attachments! One of these jack models is definitely on our short list of future purchases.
Thanks for watching,,, I think more and more people are using bottle jacks for service and farm style jacks for Instagram.
I like the Bottle Jack Buddy for my off road lifts
The haircut let me know you would be a sucker for anything packaged in an ammo can 😁
That’s too funny. 😂 thanks for watching
@@Georgia4Low Thanks for the helpful videos!
You’re Welcome and thanks a ton for watching
Just bought one a few weeks ago. Haven't used it yet, (hope in dont have to). Thanks for the tutorial.
Remember it works great in the driveway as well for repairs. Thanks for watching

Nice video. Ditched the HiLift and just bought this. Thanks!
I still keep a farm Jack in the Jeep mainly for others if needed. Bottle jacks rock for servicing
I just bought a f-250 with a 12” lift and I’m trying to find the proper jack and lifting method to jack it when I need to
Bottle jacks are safe to use. If you have straight axles front and rear it’s easy to just place the bottle Jack under one of the axle tubes and Jack up the flat tire off the ground
Great video! Thank you for posting!
Thanks you!!! It’s one awesome jack that’s safe!!!
Nice jack. I don’t have a Jeep though. Will this work on my Tacoma?
Yes, it’s perfect for SUV’s and trucks. Thanks for watching
Nice review. The attachments are nifty.
Yes they are. Such a great tool to have around. Thanks for watching
Great video. Thanks for posting it.
Thanks for the support
Great video.. I gotta get one of these now
These things are awesome.
Definitivamente un muy eficiente conjunto de piezas. In case you do not understand. I mean it is a very efficient system of pieces for lifting... Aufwiedersehen.. Saludos desde Costa Rica..
Thanks for watching!!! Love bottle jacks for repairs etc.
Great informative video. Im definitely interested in this kit. Does the can rattle when off roading?
It can and will rattle at times. I took thin foam and wrapped up a few parts and place foam in the bottom. This resolved any rattle concerns. Thanks for watching
So glad I've watched this video. Thanks a lot for sharing the information coz I'm gonna need to lift my jeep sooner or later.
Thank you for watching. Enjoy the Jeep
@@Georgia4Low thank you too sir.
Distance from ground to axle? 14 inch?
Quick measurement looks to be 14 or 14.5ins.
What about a Jack stand/plate? Does it not need one?
Depends on the surface you’re using it on. Safe Jacks offers a wider base plate that the Jack mounts to for better stability. You could probably come up with something of your own. Thanks for watching
Solid flat surfaces a base plate is not really needed.
Great video. Thanks!
Thank you

Thanks for watching. I’ll try and grab measurements this weekend. Got an email address?
Nicely done video ! Thank you!
Thank You and Thanks for Watching!!
good video, is there additional handle than those two small pieces you can buy to extend?
Just looked at their web site and looks like they don’t offer extension, worth calling or emailing them though. Thanks for watching
I thought you weren't supposed to store a bottle jack on its side?
I have not had any issues or leaks. Thanks for watching
Adjust for inflation in 2024 😭😭 $319
WOW! I haven't checked the pricing on these since the video.
It looks like the jack is stored on its side when in the ammo can. Any issues with the oil dripping out of the jack?
I’ve had zero issues with oil leaking out to date. Thanks for watching
Great video. Thanks for sharing this product.
You’re welcome and thanks for watching
Great video, Dirt Hammers. This package is available in an ammo box or a canvas bag -- being that you chose the ammo box, do the contents rattle inside at all, while you are out on the trails?
Thank you and yes you’re correct. Ammo can and bag. It can rattle in the ammo can but I put a few pieces of thin foam between the parts to help with rattles. Thanks for watching
Great video thank you
Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video! Ever use it off-road without a baseplate? Feel stable enough?
If the surface is flat then it’s stable, like on the road, driveway, or any packed offroad area. The base plate they offer is nice as it fastens down the bottle Jack but some just carry square piece of plywood or blocks.
Have you used it in an actual flat front tire?
Been lucky to not have a flat tire yet. But it would function the same as demonstrated in the video. Thanks for watching
Hey brother nice jack and video. Gonna get this one but I have a question for you. What bumper is that on your Jeep it’s a nice one. Can you let me know please and thanks in advance.
Thanks for watching. Both front/rear bumpers are Degeen38 Bumpers from Extremeterrain.com I really like them, no rust or coating issues.
@@Georgia4Low thanks brother they look si dam good but a but over my budget but gotta save. Thanks for the jack on your video i just ordered it.
Alfredo Ruiz enjoy the new Jack!
How much clearance with a flat tire? Can you get the jack to fit?
@bobwhisenhunt7085 yes fits just don’t use the extensions. Not sure about it fitting with stock tires though.
Too bad they don't make an extension for the handle. Looks like you'll have to practically lay directly under the vehicle to actuate the jack.
Yeah an extension would be helpful for sure. Thanks for watching
I thought bottle jacks were to always be stored UPRIGHT. Older guys who've used them for decades claim horizontal storage is a sure way to guarantee premature failure.
I haven’t had an issue yet.
Suspect the safest jack would be one that does not require you to be under the rig during the lifting.
True but those jacks have their hazards conditions as well.
I lifted my 2020 3/4 ram 6in, will that fit?
Placing it under the axle I would say yes it would.
That price is ridiculous for what is essentially the same pos bottle jack that came with my truck!
Did your bottle Jack come with all the different lifting attachments? The attachments are USA made I do believe.
Super expensive but worth it.. I got this one for my jk
I love how easy and safe it is to use and store in the Jeep. Thanks for watching
Dirt Hammers Off-Road same here .. I even added a pad lock 🔒 to the ammo can and bolted the can to the Jeep so I feel comfortable leaving it there
Awesome idea!!!
Excellent video, amazing Bottle Jack but price deceives the purpose! its just a lift Jack lol Price: Sergeant= $319 General= $419 ridiculous !
