Default Jack options
I have a 4" lift on my JKU, what are the jack options besides a hi lift jack. I just don't feel safe using one of those. Maybe that's my only option? If you use something else could you let me know

the AEV jack base for the OE scissor jack is awesome. I love it. Makes your scissor jack much more useable/versatile. Great to have for mud or sand too.

I have the aev base and couldn't remove my 34's with my leveling kit. Just not tall enough.

I'm also running 37" tires, just trying to see what's out there.

Where were you putting the jack? I use the AEV base and have no issues with 3" lift and 35s.

Only place I found that would even get the off the ground was the frame near the tire

Jack via the axle tube and problem solved. That's what I use every time I rotate, no issues.
