Jack question

This is a question for everyone with a lifted truck with bigger tires. I was wondering if anyone has replaced or got a new jack. The factory one I dont think is made to go that high.

Most people with lifted trucks don't carry a jack. There aren't many that can lift the truck high enough, and the spare is too big to carry unless you don't use the box.

yea, jack is useless. A hi-lift jack that can raise a vehicle couple feet can be had from 4wheelparts.com and other places, but its more usefull for jacking up out of the mud and then pushing the truck over onto better ground. Changing tires of the big kind is better left to the shop unless you want to haul extra 37"s in your bed. Ive never gotten a flat where having it towed to the shop is not easyer than getting sweaty on the side of the road.

OF COURSE this does not apply to off-roaders and the like.
