Yep tyre plug in, was still able to raise the jack even on the angle.....a shovel was the back up plan.

Get a decent multi-stage hydraulic jack and lift the chassis not the axle.

Why did you jack up the truck using the disk calliper and instead of using the axel/diff housing?
Blaming this problem on Nissan is a bit unfair [bigwhistle]

Serious?! Lifting from the chassis with a hydraulic jack would take for ever.

The jack is on the axle housing......

I later discovered the handbrake wasn’t on.....I had CLD engaged, it move forward taking up the drivetrain slop.

No 1 rule, never have any part of you body under a car supported by just a jack.

No worries, from your photo it looks like the jack is on the brake calliper [biggrin]
