Title: Stock Jack
Post by: 77 Scottsdale on November 30, 2018, 08:57:13 PM

Hello Squarebody people, does anyone know if a 4wd jack and 2wd jack are the same? I got a 1977 4wd. Thanks

Pretty sure they are both the same bottle jack

They are probably the same; however, make sure its really a truck jack and it has enough lift height. 

I switched to a hydraulic bottle jack, and it took some searching to find one with high enough lift to get my stock tires off the ground.  If you have 33's or 35's you need even higher lift, or you have to carry some pieces of 2x6 or 2x8 to set the jack on so that you can lift higher.
