6 1/5" high bottle jack

I was crusing the web, I dont know about you but it has happened to me after a flat, it always seem thst the axel is too close too the ground after a flat, and getting the jack head under the spring pad to safely lift that mess up can be a problem, as my 12 ton is a lot taller than the one I am going to post, if anybody is thinking about purchasing a bottle jack in the near future, and the price is right too.
Dont get me wrong Im not promoting this company, I just thought it was some realy good information to share.

I tried to post it but it got all messed up but its from Northern tool and it is a 20ton short bottlel jack for 29.00 I'll try and figure out why its not posting properly.

Don, here's the link: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...5499_200305499

However, with only 4" of lift, will it be enough to replace a flat tire?

Actually the lift is only 3", the screw top gives another 1 1/4" in height but not as lift. There is another jack but is more than double the price ($62) and gives another 1 1/2" of height.

I think I'll stick to my 6 ton jack which should be enough to raise one wheel at a time with enough lift. It does also fit under my axle (u-bolts) or with 4x4 blocks I can raise from the frame.

Never thought about the total lift thanks for the info before I bought it.
