It's the exact same jack minus the 3x snap on tax

Daytona Yellow it is! Thank you Zs and Zingston!

Had to correct my spelling otherwise JL would make fun of my Jinglish!

The 1.5 ton cocked out lifting my rig. Had to use 2 1.5 ton to lift and change the blown out tire.

Get a chunk of 4x4 and a 2x4 to stash in the trailer, they only need to be 12"-18" long. Put the 4x4(and maybe the 2x if needed) in front of the good tire. Pull the trailer onto the 4x4 to change the flat. No need for a jack when changing trailer tires

Edit: or just use the boards in the pic

Hi Rusty apparently this wont work on my trailer as it has a leaf springs. This thing only work with torsion type of trailers.

It would only raise my good tire but wont lift the flat one. It would have been convenient. I guess back to Daytona yellow. I just hate to bring extra weight on the back of my truck.

It will work. I just raised one tire the other day when I was working on my trailer brakes.

It worked on my camper. 10,000 lbs with leaf springs.

That is what I do. I use some 2x6's nailed together. I make my own ramps.
