Has anyone put 295/40ZR21 square on the 21" staggered set-up (ex. 741m wheels)?
araje I currently have the same question as you did last year....did you find out more on the Bottle Jack vs Floor Jack situation for the X5?

I have air-suspension and at its middle level, the ground to jack point clearance is 9in for fronts and 10in for rear. Most of the jacks I saw on amazon start with a minimum height of 11in. I can go do a floor jack but that would be my 2nd preference. I would really prefer those bottle jacks which are low profile and portable.
I found a good bottle jack on Harbor Freight - 8ton with minimum retracted height at 9in and 4ton with min height at 7in. I would prefer the 8ton one.
The issue is with he 8ton one starting at 9in height, there is no place to have the jack pad https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The bottle jack's protruding arm has a circular top (1 and 1/2in) diameter.
2 questions - can I do the bottle jack compared to floor jack? here's the link ( https://www.harborfreight.com/8-ton-...ack-56734.html) and if so can I avoid the jack pad. |
