- Today we are building an axle to bottle jack adaptor to help stable our Jeeps when changing off-road tires.
As suspension technologies has improved overtime and suspension articulation has gone crazy. When using the beloved high lift Jacks that has worked will in many situations, but now the Hi-Lift jack can barely lift our tires of the trail when we need to change them, and the Jeep become very unstable. We have used the bottle jack as long but it to can be unstable as the High-Lift Jack. The bottle Jack button head connects to a round axel tube can slip right off, we may have a solution that may help, come check out videos.
Here is what needed:

Great video I just picked up a bottle jack buddy! but if i had the time this would be a fun project
Watching this made my head hurt! That tube pulled at least 1/16 of a inch when he tacked it
yep i think im going to make myself one of thease
Very nice, but the pipe did not have to be that long, I made mine 1" long and it worked fine.
When I get under my RAM or either of my trailers on my driveway I'm going with my floor jack. Off road? Have fun finding " bottle jack level ground .
i just may have to put one of these together, already have a couple bottle jacks. super cool tip. why the 8 ton? you lifting a bus? or is it because of the height of the jack??
Correct mainly the height and the base is a little wider than a 4 is 6 ton..
Do you have any for sale?
I sure hope you made another one with a tube that is only about an inch and a quarter to an inch and a half in length. You wouldn't be able to get that thing under the axle of my truck!
Any update on the jack base build video?
Hi Matt, Thanks for watching there will be an update coming.
Hi What is the name of the part you got from summit racing
Hi David, there is a link in the show notes that takes you to Summit website for the axle perches we used. Thanks for watching…

Can you please make me one.
What's the benefit of this over the stock scissor jack?
It’s little smaller and easier to store.. We have modified scissor jacks to fit the axle and works great also… Thanks for watching….
Scissor jacks are called widow makers for reason. This with a base is much safer and easier to use.
Any plans to manufacture these for sale in the future?
If we.get some interest I’m open build some.
@@5150MotorSports Well, I'd buy one!
5150 MotorSports There’s a thread on the San Diego Jeep Club’s Facebook page about this right now. I posted a link to your video and people are interested. You might wanna check it out and see how many you could sell. I definitely want one!
5150 MotorSports do you currently have any available for sale,?
That poor micrometer....
Are you able to make the extension and sell them to me. I have a travel trailer and would like a set made and shipped to Minnesota. ZIP Code 55008 can you come up with a cost. Would like it with a harbor freight 10 ton jack So your pipe size will need to be different and I may want them taller.
Great info! I sent you an email from your website. Let me know if you got it 😄
