Default powerbuilt jack

It's not easy to safely lift a jeep, use a hilift, and quickly the weight shifts, and the whole jeep moves.... I have always carried a 6 ton bottle jack and a block of wood, until today. I tried out the powerbuilt all in one bottle jack and jack stand. It works as claimed, and offers a safe alternative.

Why would you need a 6 ton?

Tractor Supply still has them at $39. Height is 11" to 21.5"

I just watch the video on Amazon and didn't realize I had the extension on top.

Many reviews about the fluid leaking out on these.

What is the purpose of this having the jackstand? I just use a cheap h/f bottle Jack and it holds height fine. I mean I never left my jeep on it overnight but for tire rotations and operations taking a few hours I've had no issues just using a bottle Jack.

A bottle jack can loose it's fluids at any time with out notice. My dad was jacking up a car with a bottle jack once and as he went to get the jack stand the bottle jack blew it's seal and fluid went everywhere and the car came crashing back down. Jack stand isn't going to do that.
