@Xtreme is the bottle jack you have from Auto-one? Quality?
I presume "Impact" is their house brand.
Their 10,000kg (I'm sure this capacity would suffice! ) unit
height lowered: 229mm, height raised 459mm, so lift= 230mm
Also seems very (suspiciously? ) affordable at $99.95
90785938 - Impact IG4010 10,000KG Bottle Jack - Auto One
................. /QUOTE]
Bought mine about 12 yrs ago for about $60. It is 210mm when collapsed and 410mm when extended. Just be aware that the extended height includes the screw section which can't be used for lift. I would guess that the 10,000kg 'Impact' unit has a screw section of about 90mm and a hydraulic (lift) section of about 130mm.
A point to note if considering purchase of a bottle jack is that with a flat 235/85x16 tyre, you only have about 210mm under the axle housing. If you're on dirt, you can dig a bit of a hole to sit the jack in if necessary. However if you're on a hard surface then you may have trouble getting your jack under the axle housing if it's collapsed height is more than 210mm.
This mob Product Search have two and three stage hydraulic lift bottle jacks if you need a squat high lift jack.

SupporterThese look ok but do not have a 'V' top to safely jack under the axle?
Dont like the idea of using a block of wood.

SupporterI just used my hi-lift jack to help the young bloke across the road with his camper trailer that had sunk down to the axle on side, due to all the rain we've had in Brisbane. At first he tried a trolley jack but as the wheels couldn't roll it was just leaning over, so he asked me for help. We threaded a rope through the wheel spokes 3 times to make a triple loop to spread the load, put the jack tongue in the loop and lifted it up easily, then put dirt and a long board in the hole left by the wheel and dragged it around, so he can hitch it to his towbar.

SubscriberOTE=travelrover;3106582]A quality 3 ton + bottle jack with a good timer block to spread the load.
There is also an attachment you can get for high lift jacks that ‘plugs’ into the one of the two holes in the rear cross member or your ARB bull bar which makes them much more stable and suitable for changing wheels.[/QUOTE]
Note - unless you have a 130 (or tray back 110) because the tub/tray extends past the rear cross members.
