Is 20" enough lift for a disco (1 or 2) from jackable sills? I like the look of the halfrauds high lift jack offer but when I used my old trolly jack (allegedly 15" lift) even with about 4" of wood inbetween it would not lift enough to change the wheels and I ended up having to jack up one corner at a time. Wouldnt have been so bad but I was changing all 4 wheels at the time.
Sorry to thread jack but saved opening a new thread to ask a similar question![]()
I have had jackable sliders fitted and tried using my old 2 ton jack to lift the Disco to fit my m/t wheels rather than lifting 1 wheel at a time. The spec of my old jack says 15" lift (assumed from the floor) and I added a 4" block of wood aswell, even with the jack at full stretch both wheels were still touching the floor so I was wondering if a jack with 20" lift would work (if I used the wood it would be around 24" from the floor).
Thats what I did in the end but I was trying to save time by lifting the side of the car and doing both wheels at once.
Just thinking because i'll be going back to road tyres soon when the weather picks up and only using the m/ts for laning it would be easier if I can get a jack that lifts using the sills rather than jacking up each wheel separately
Hi,
its my birthday soon and the mrs asked what I'd like, I said a decent trolley jack for my D2.
Any suggestions .
Thankyou,
Paul
The Halfrauds one mentioned earlier is still 35 quid, I brought one a short while ago and it lifts the discovery with ease, does the job for me.
