One of these days I'm going to make a custom saddle from steel pipe for the jack so it fits perfectly under the U-bolts and can't slip. This jack makes it easy for inspecting/serving brakes & wheel bearings at home.

If you can find a place that sells trailer fab stuff you can get a axle perch just like the one on your Springs. Weld that to a 2” long piece of pipe that slides over the top screw of your bottle jack.

Thanks for the tip. Couple of years ago I looked all over for a saddle that would work but will see what some trailer fab places have. I thought I could just cut a piece of pipe lengthwise but the OD of the U-bolts is too far off standard pipe IDs. Buying a pre-made saddle would def. be a lot easier.
