I've only had to jack up my prior rig (4Runner) twice off roading. The factory jack, up on a flat support rock, was arduous but workable. I'm wondering if there is an upgraded solution from the Raptor factory jack that remains fairly minimalist while still being an upgrade?
1. Who has used the factory Raptor jack (I know - I should be familiar with my gear before needing it...)? Does it have adequate stroke for axle, diff, frame and for front and rear? Will it actually work off road or is it a flat/pavement solution only? Is a plastic jack baseplate a good upgrade, brand/model?
2. Without going to a bulky wheeled floor jack or Hi-Lift, etc. is there a compact, rugged, long throw upgrade option (hydraulic bottle maybe)? I'm very space constrained/conscious. Again maybe something that has enough throw for most points one might need to jack all around the vehicle? Any one actually take some measurements on the Raptor to know what stroke is needed to cover a variety of situations?
This is mostly Raptor focused, but feel free to discuss upgrades/solutions for non-Raptors as well. Figured I'd get more and better responses in the General forum section rather than Raptor only.
Thanks in advance.
