I have the aev jack base with me all the time. It works great. The factory scissor jack is a very decent capable jack, having the wider tall aev base makes your jack a whole lot more useful. At home I use a SUV hydraulic floor jack, pretty standard, just 6" taller than the avg jack. Lift up to 21"

I don't have a portable jack :( At home I use an ARCAN XL325R 3.25 ton and 2 ton Craftsman Aluminum floor jack... the ARCAN is a beast, highly recommend it, the 2 ton is just the assistant for supporting axle etc... 3 ton Craftsman jack stands. Looking for a jack soon though, would have to get stuck somewhere without one.

I have the AEV jack base if you want. Never used it once. $40 shipped if you're interested.

I've got the AEV jack base and 48" extreme hi-lift, but haven't had the opportunity to use either.
