No,but minimum height changes,depending what suspension setting you are on if you jack from the chassis rails,as per handbook.Originally Posted by BJM
Ok,mine was on normal height,but without a completely flat tyre i wouldn't be able to tell what minimum distance is.And i didn't have a completely flat tyre on hand.
Also depending on what rim size you have,the minimum will change as well.
If the vehicle had a flat tyre,would it raise to off road height,if all the doors are shut?Therefore increasing the minimum.
Maybe someone will have to let the air out of a tyre and play around
Confusing?

SubscriberI now have an Omega BST2000 combined with LandyAndy's custom adapter.
D3/D4 Hydraulic jack adapter
I got the jack from Blackwoods for ~$115
https://www.blackwoods.com.au/part/0...escopic-hyd-2t
This is now effectively the same as the custom jack AnD3rew sourced to start this thread.
But the LandyAndy adapter is removable, being held on by grub screw instead of welded.
However, the adapter was designed to suit a Kinchrome 6T jack with a slightly smaller top.
So today, I machined the adapter on a mate's lathe so that it fitted over the Omega jack top.
The recess diameter needed to be increased by approx 1.5mm to suit the Omega, which has a diameter of 32.2mm
I'm very happy with this set-up. Thanks to AnD3rew, LandyAndy, BSM and wbowner who've all contributed to this combined unit.
Cheers,
Scott

SubscriberAccording to the specs for the bts2000 the size of the head is 27.5mm in diameter which should fit the adapter.
The bts4000 has the diameter of 31.5.
I have not tried mine so may be specs are wrong?

I haven't bought my jack yet as I am waiting for my adapter to arrive and was going to take it into a store to make sure that the jack I buy fits the adapter. I am looking at the Omega 2 tonne as it has a 181 minimum and 418 maximum height which seemed ideal for a D4. Haven't got access to a lathe so can someone confirm the saddle diameter. I saw the same spec as you Richard but Scott's experience has me wondering. If I can't confirm the saddle diameter I'll opt for the same jack as Andy - Kinchrome 6 tonne. I can't find a local store that has the Omega jack in stock so I can't just rock up and try the adapter. Sigh
Could the Omega be made with different saddles for different markets perhaps and we are seeing two versions of the same model available in Australia versus from an overseas source?

Alternatively, take a grinder to the top of the jack?

I have a bts2000 I bought from backwoods.
I tried the adapter today and it does not fit
The specs of the bts2000 saddle size is 27.5mm diameter
I assumed this was the size of the round top which would fit into the adapter. If it is then the specs are wrong as the diameter of the this bit is around 33mm I believe as other have found.
May be it is the diameter.er before the powder coated or something or their specs are just wrong or they refer to a different part of the Jack
The long and short is that as others have stated you will have to lathe the adapter, grind the head of the bts2000 or get another Jack
Bugger!!!!! Am I aloud to say bugger If not I am sorry
