it has been a long time since i have seen one of those types of air jacks, on the 95 toyota pick i had an extra leaf put in my leaf springs. and it helped lots, I hauled lots of weight with mine made that little 22R grount and snort, and never broke a leaf.

Got some new ones coming from Rockauto. The are from dorman and have an extra ply. Hopefully they will perform a little better. Rockauto saved me $170 on the leaf springs compared to anywhere else I could find the exact same part (checker, autozone, other sites on the internet).

the only thing i notce with the extra leaf on mine was i could feel every crack in the road lol granted there not the smoothest ride anyways but the help they do is worth it.

Do you guys make the Wrangler radial 235-75-r15 tire? The one that has been around for more than 25 years? I still use those tires on my old F150 if you do. I won't buy a tire for any of my vehicles that's NOT made in the USA. These tires are very affordable and ride nice and smooth. They also work great in bad weather such as snow.
To the topic at hand... Be careful with that jack when working under a supported load. While nice, they can be very dangerous. I ALWAYS double support a vehicle for safety just to be sure.

Yes. I had access to one of these front end lifts before. I always put big wood blocks under the frame. The lifts do have a locking clicker (lol) like a highlift jack. That way you arent relying on air pressure or seals etc. But its still a small piece of metal to be counting on.
