Hi-lift is great for on the trail, but if you just need to change a tire on the side of the road, check out the AEV jack base. It's tucks nicely in the storage cubby in back and lets you use your stock jack.

I have the AEV jack base. Handy little piece of equipment. You can use it as a wheel chalk, it holds your wheel lock, pretty sweet little deal for $40 and it lifts my 37s off the ground!

The stock lift will not go high enough with 35's?

I use AEV's jack base. Works perfect. Makes the OE scissor jack much more useful. @ 3.75" of lift on 35's.

x2 This guy ^^ has got the right idea

lift wont affect a tire change, tire size is the only factor. you'll be jacking from the axles, right?

How so? What does this do a couple pieces of 2x6's won't do?

Honest question, thinking about it but seems like a lot just to raise the stock jack a few inches.
