Hey easy!

I've got a 5' Tigerzz and it works fine, so fine I can jack safely straight off the Hurricane rims on my POS, which saves a lot of time in a bogged situation.

I agree that a smallish trolley jack is a great asset, I carry an ex RACV 1.5 tonne around in my RRC.......... you'd lose it in a 101. Far superior to any bottle jack, gets used a lot and is not a chore.

Also have a 4T bottle jack like the one that MM is talking about that mostly lives in the shed, but works flawlessly. Paid about $25 at Total Tools.

You're probably better off with the 8 or 16 T one, just for the extra height gain.

I use an Ern-Lake 4 ton tower jack (screw type) with mine but not sure if you have them over there (I'm in UK). I think they were supplied with Bedford Mk's if you had them.

They have a good wide square base so they are very stable.
