G'day,
For all those who know their factory jack fits, read no further :-)
let the back tyre down on the might mav this arve, in the driveway, close to the compressor. The factory jack fitted under the coil spring diff with about 30 -40 mm to spare- bit of a guestimate as the jack was lower than the wheel. I had some doubts that it would with the 15" rims.
So, I didn't need to service and then apply pretty paint to the 3 tonne tojo jack I bought second hand years ago, that is shorter than the factory nissan jack. Note the 2 tonne tojo is lower again.
I have had issues jacking up my dodgy kneed mate's GQ with 15s and the factory jack, but can't remember why - maybe the wheel was off the tar and thus low enough to be a problem.
Still, the pretty red tojo jack won't go to waste, can't have too many :-)
one would think the factory jack would fit under the diff tube with leaf springs, just not under the spring pack.
