    Something I never thought about yes your right the original jack needs a heap of chocks just with a two inch lift .

    If you dig approximately a 1” deep hole and drive the 35” tyre into it then position the OEM bottle jack under the axle you can just sneak the tyre off. I managed to get it done with a messy builders tech screw through a new BFG KM2 years back, grrrrr!

    I threw my mechanical jack away on both 4x4s Ive owned and brought myself a nice 20 tonne Hydraulic number
    less effort to lift the car and only a thick base plate might be all you need. They come on special every now and then
    and cost bugger all I love mine even great for jobs at home.. I collect antiques but and original mechanical 4x4 jack has no resale value at all lol

    Did he come up with a solution ????

    brought their hi-lift. Ive never seen one ever have I been ripped off again
