What Jack for a lifted JK on 34-35 inch tires?
Other than a high lift jack which I would only use on the trail when nothing else would work, what jacks are people using if they need to change a tire outside of garage(no floor jack available)?
I bought a bottle jack from walmart that said it lifts up to 16 inches and it wasnt enough to get the axle high enough to change the tire and the scissor jack looks kind of scary. So what jacks are people using that can change a tire on a lifted JK with large tires?

^^^^^^^^ x2
I just use the OEM scissor lift with the AEV base. If that isn't going to work due to terrain/location then I use the Hi-Lift to get the bastard off the ground and then stick the OEM scissor jack (sitting on the AEV base) under a good lift point to act as a "jack stand"
I would NOT use the Hi-Lift by itself for changing a tire unless I had no other choice....
