Default Jack Pads for Sand and 35"+ Tires

I have 35's on JK 4 door with 2.5" lift. I don't want to haul around a hi lift jack. Anyone have any preference on jack pads that I can stack under stock car jack? ones that would possible work in sand also?
Thanks,
KW

The hi-lift pad should work for you, I know it worked well in the sand down here after I churned it up. I believe ARB makes one as well.

I like that....was looking for just some stackable pads that are sturdy. How tall is that base? I am not positive how much more height I need to get the tire to clear.

Default AEV Jack Base

Have you looked at the AEV base? It will handle 37's with the OEM jack

Yes...the AEV looks cool, it is just 60 bucks. I usually am not cheap about stuff, but 60 bucks just seems like a lot of money for a piece of plastic....

Ha! I know what you mean. AEV is proud of their products!! Amazon has them for $55

The Hi-Lift base is another option but also pretty spendy at $45

J - just
E - empty
E - every
P - pocket

Bottle Jack Recovery Kit Without Bottle Jack ? Safe Jack

http://safejacks.com/collections/bot...ages-at-bottom


These guys have some pretty sweet products. I just picked ones that looks like it'd help you, but check out their whole line. Sorta pricey for what it is, but the stuff looks nice! I want to get the one for the hi lift. I've seen video of someone just shoving a CJ while up on the hi lift and it stays nice and tight, no flopping over.


Edit: Derp that video is also on the site. Check out the hi lift stabilizer, the vids on that page. (i know you don't want hi lift stuff, just putting this out there for others)

I always carry a 4x6x14 block of wood and a 4 ton bottle jack (I've never used, and don't want to use the factory jack)
I've used the block of wood as a step when going over tall rocks, too, so it serves double-duty

Thanks for this. I just bought one for my work shop truck. I need a variety of jacks to get my guys up and running when they have issues on the road. It just might find its way into my jeep after two or three days, though...Not to worry, I own the company.
