Hi, I have a Defender 110 and a Disco. Both have modified raised suspension, I use them for excursions around the Marbella/Benahavis area. The standard bottle jacks are not high enough to raise the cars, any recommendations on different jacks that may be any good? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Welcome
What size are the tyres? The disco bottle jack should lift a 110.have you got enough oil in the jack?(it’s a 2 stage ram)

Hi all, thanks for the replies. The tyres are 265/75 on the Defender and 265/70 on the Disco. The 2 stage bottle jack at full extension is about 2-3cms short of reaching the car. I can put a decent piece of wood under the bottle jack but not sure how safe that will be. I need something I can use on a trail in the middle of nowhere! I have racks and storage so will take a look at the suggestions made on the thread. Thanks again.
