    The longer the travel of the jacking post, the more unstable it becomes. Adding blocks for a thicker base under the jack is more stable than a long necked jack. In theory, this kit will work and is easier to carry than a bunch of 2x8 blocks, but I'd prefer the wood blocks. Someone will get into trouble using this kit because they don't put jack stands under their work. Safety 1st.

    • @BigTruckBigRV
      @BigTruckBigRV  Před 7 lety +7

      redroofretriever: I agree if you plan on using too many extensions. But the reality is that most people should only need 1 extension. 1 extention is the equivalent of many many stacked blocks of wood.

    Listening to this, I can almost hear my Grandad; He would always say "buy good design once, and it'll last you your lifetime" "don't waste money on cheap things, they will only ever disappoint" and "cheap things are the most expensive things you can buy" "good quality remains long after the price is forgotten" He would have loved these, he always had a good eye for quality tools. Great product, and looks to be worth every penny (or Cent in this case).

    Great product, I've had too jack up my 5th wheel when getting new tire's, and putting the spare on. I needed too use 3 4X4's too make up the distance from the ground too the frame for the bottle jack. This is a product I will be getting, as soon as I finish typing this. You are the "Man"

  • @killer2600
    @killer2600 Před 7 lety +19

    For ~$300 per jack kit, I'll use my much safer wood blocks or better yet a bigger/taller bottle jack that doesn't require blocks. There's a reason why more people put the bottle jack on top of blocks rather than those that put a block/extension on top of the bottle jack. Maybe it has something to do with a guy named darwin; I don't know, I just know it's what I notice.

      Big Truck Big RV 1.Great video 2.Awesome product. 3. Still think that a base of blocks is more stable, esp. if bolted(countersunk) together... a few 2x10 scrap pieces from site, can even screw jack to boards.

    • @BigTruckBigRV
      @BigTruckBigRV  Před 7 lety +3

    Use the power Jacks to lower the front end as far as it'll go down. Javelin welding stands are to be placed at the rear end. Then simply raise the Jacks all the way up as far as they'll go. Wow that only took about 4 minutes.
    Javelin welding stands are made in Alberta Canada. Rated for 4500 lbs per stand

      Gary Speer they come in a 6 inch by 6 inch box small ones I think are just over a foot high and the and the medium box is 24 in Long. Simply lift up on the red handle and they collapse on themselves I use mine all the time.
      Super easy way to change a tire as well. Or do suspension work. They have a special thread on them that allows you to lift thousands of pounds with a 3 inch handle

  • @takayama1638

    To me, their RENNSTAND seems to be better and safer, and it works with floor and bottle jacks! Us RVers surely need something to hold the tires off ground, not just for flats, but for set up long term and storage to keep weight off tires! Did y'all see the thingamabobs Mr. Truck TV reviewed? Set them up under axles, pull forward or back up a bit, and the trailer rests on those thingamabobs®. I need something!! I'll research these things a bit more, but the Mr. Truck reviewed things look like a better solution. Only problem with those is you have to crawl under the trailer to set them up... come on inventers, we are waiting...

    Based on your review of the Safe Jack I ordered a 12 ton rescue kit with the extra 8" extension. I have used it twice, but not to lift the trailer. This just demonstrates the benefits of having this kit. Thank you for your review and bringing this our attention.

  • @philsalsbery9994
    @philsalsbery9994 Před 7 lety +1

    This is a nice solution, but I agree with others in using wood blocks under the bottle jack to reduce the length of extension. Not to be picky, but extension is with an "s" not a "t". I like those cradles though, to sit right on top of the bottle jack. I would use another wood block on top of the flat cradle. Also, I am a big proponent of multi-taskers, where this is a uni-tasker. I don't like having to carry my entire shop with me in the way of tools. Wood blocks have so many uses, and if in a pinch, you can always toss a few in the fire pit. I carry a small assortment of wood blocks with me at all times, and all with a 45 degree cut angle on one side. Can use them for wheel chocks and many other uses. I always carry a pair of 5 ton bottle jacks with me in my Ram Boxes. Thanks for anther great video.

    • @YourMajesty143

      My uncle used the landing gear when he had a blowout and the hydraulic hose ruptured. The sudden release of pressure caused that corner of the rig to fall. No injuries thankfully. The tech that came out for the tire replacement said the landing jacks weren't actually rated to keep the vehicle suspended off the ground. just food for thought.
