- rhagfoExplorer IIIJust one more thing to carry and take up space, feel a 12 Ton Bottle jack is smaller and more useful.
- BB_TXNomadHave not. Some have stated that some types suspension have so much travel the ramp will not raise the other wheel enough to change it.
- Ed9824vExplorerI have one and it is great, does take up a lot of space used it twice for a flat and roll the good tire on it after loosening the lug nuts and off came the wheel and spare was put on. took about a 1/2 hr. tst tire minder caught the leaky torn sidewall and pulled over and was still partially aired up.
ps. I have the all aluminum one and my boys plastic one did not go high enough to get the tire off the ground. I just picked up an aluminum one at a garage sale for him. - austinjennaExplorerYes I have it used it a few times. Now on my latest fiver I also need a board down for the suspension so the wheel will come off the ground

The jack that came with my truck will work fine. No need to carry something extra. - AllworthExplorer IIThey don't work with Mor-Ryde type "RE" suspension (or. of course, "IS" independent suspension).
I use a bottle jack. - agesilausExplorer IIIWe have one and it works on our fiver. It doesn't seem to take up that much room in our Pickup's 8 ft bed

Well I had an 8' bed then installed a tool box. That said all the stuff goes in the tool box so what is left of the bed is all usable.
Our goal is to not have to pack to use the 5er. All of what we need should either be in the 5er, or the TV tool box already, the exemptions are bikes, and personable food. - BipeflierExplorer

Use a traileraid on mine, works easy. Much rather use this on a dark rainy night , than crawling around with a bottle jack.

+1 Fits in the basement storage well just fine. Makes changing a tire quick and I don't have to carry a bunch of blocks to get a jack high enough to lift the trailer and don't have to crawl under the trailer.
I LIKE IT!!!
