No, the process is per corner only.

Has anyone had a look at these?

There's a couple of top-plate options which could be handy depending on what the jacking point is. I'm just not sure whether there's a /small enough/ heavy duty bottle jack to fit under the car with one of their extensions on it...

That's why the omega 2 stage is the recommended jack - correct closed and open heights [emoji6]

Then also listed on eBay is a very similar looking one, just different colour combo same specs again at $85 or $112 with stands.

I like the idea of this trolley jack as it is compact, has a carry case and only weighs 10kg in the case. How much does the Omega 2 ton jack weigh ? How much weight are you saving with the bottle jack ?

EDIT: wrong one. it's 5.7kg for the one with extra stroke.

Thanks Scortt. The 4.7kg extra weight maybe worth the stability over the LR scissor jack ( and also bottle jack ) - just pop it under the control arm and don't have to worry about it slipping off. But yes trolley jack bigger to store. If I end up getting a camper trailer, I'll have some where to store it and definitely get a trolley jack. According to trolley jack box measurements, it should fit in my drawers.


P.S I've just had APT Rock sliders fitted and Ben said I can lift the vehicle using a high lift jack off the sliders. Do you think I could use a trolley jack under the sliders as well ? Any thoughts ?

I've ended up ordering both, the AliBaba trolley and the Blackwoods bottle.

Probably not. The sliders are higher off the ground than the chassis rail.
You will use up most of the jack extension just getting up to the slider.

When away on a trip and fully loaded, I don't want the extra 5kg of the trolley jack when the bottle jack works well anyway.

Cheers,
Scott

Sounds like a good idea g5k. I'll be interested to hear what you think of the trolley jack once it arrives.


Scott, you are probably right with sliders sitting too high and trolley jack not having enough reach. Only other option I am considering is an exhaust jack but they too take up quite a bit of storage room .

Got a msg from Ali and the supplier is out of stock and he wanted to substitute it. If only it was that simple :)
