Floor Jack Height for Lift Install?
Is 19.25" enough lift to be able to drop the axle enough to replace shocks/springs? The only higher ones I'm finding are 6 ton jacks (which get you 24" of lift and cost a LOT more).
Thanks!
Thanks!

It should be enough for 2.5" springs. If you have taller springs, you'd obviously need to raise it higher. In any case, you can slip a few 2x4's between the jack and the pumpkin to get more height.

Yep, 19" worked! We really had to drop the axle all the way to the floor to pop in those taller springs, but it was definitely doable!
Thanks! Got the lift on, and my Treadwright 33's! Lovin' the look/feel, can't wait to go wheeling!
