Just been talking to Gordon from Green Oval Experience regrading some of his excellent products and he has told me it's not advised to use a hi-lift jack on any point of an RRS. The body panels curve too much to give any error factor. Best to buy an exhaust jack, but one with an air-compressor fill option.

Can anyone recommend a quality brand that fits the bill? Also, do I need additional protection between the inflated bag and either the vehicle or the ground?

What about placement of the exhaust jack, do I try and position it as I would a normal jack under the sanctioned jack placement points for a RRS or can I be more relaxed where I place it?

(as the RRS has two exhaust pipes, and you have to block one to use an exhaust jack off the other).

Hi,
you can get a rubber bung from a beer brewing supply place that may fit.
Have a hole drilled in it, put a bolt/nut with 2 washers either end through the hole.
Bung it in the other pipe and tighten the nut to expand the rubber to a tight fit.

cheers

if the airbag has a one way flap in it you dont need anything exotic, a nerf ball will work surprisingly well.
