Well, s i've been reading all the posts for this thread, you should really
get a wheeled jack for your garage/driveway, and the stands of course. For
the trail, i recently purchased a bottle jack. It's small, and it will be a
lot easier to slide under the truck in the mud or whatever. But i'll also
be taking a 1" square of plywood to act as a base so the jack stays
relatively clean, and doesn't submerge into the earth.
Just one of my theories.
