If you drive a lifted 4WD, changing a flat tyre in the bush can become a challenge because your factory bottle jack may no longer be effective. With a 50-100mm lift, the jack’s ram is often too short to raise the tyre off the ground, making it difficult to carry out a tyre change safely.
Many four-wheel drivers try to solve this issue in different ways, but each method has its downsides. Some place a piece of wood or rocks under the jack, but this can be highly unstable and increase the risk of collapse. Others invest in a new bottle or trolley jack with an extended ram, though this option can be expensive, bulky, and heavy to carry. Some drivers rely on a High Lift jack, but these can be unstable at height, difficult to use, and not something everyone has.
Roadsafe’s Bottle Jack Extensions and accessories offer a safer and more secure solution for jacking up lifted vehicles. These extensions are designed to slip over the ram of a standard bottle jack, effectively increasing its reach. This allows the jack to sit firmly on the ground while lifting the vehicle, ensuring a stable and secure lift. Since the components fit snugly together, the risk of tipping or instability is significantly reduced.
By using Roadsafe Bottle Jack Extensions, four-wheel drivers can confidently and safely lift their vehicles, making tyre changes and repairs much easier, no matter where they are.
