    I now raise the suspension and place a block under the arm and tell the vehicle to lower. Instant wheel off the ground. Hi lift jack points - D4

    The link in post 16 go to the thread about them and jacks. Post 2 on that thread by LandyAndy explains a bit. He had his son make a batch up after talking about them on this forum. He had made one himself and got a lot of enquiries. That's where I got mine from. They weren't a commercial product. Maybe contact LandyAndy and he might be able to help.

    I’m not sure you’ll have much luck reaching him.
    You could give it a try.

    May be easier to go to a local fab shop and have one made.

    Good timing .... I worked with the owner of Tuffant who's a friend of mine to get a small batch of jack adapters fabricated using his contacts in China.
    It has taken ages to come to fruition but they are about to be sold via the Tuffant website, should be up tonight. Probably just this one batch too.

    Cheers,

    I have a workshop jack lower than that and it won’t go under with a flat tyre on an 18” rim.
    I carry a timber block the width of an inflated 17” tyre.
    I drive the flat wheel onto the block and can now fit the jack under it.

    60 bucks.....I wonder what the actual cost was of the ones I had made. Although I didn’t have the grub screw.

    $49 Actually, prices includes postage anywhere in Australia. As with any small orders the prices are way higher than if you were ordering this sort of things by the 100s or 1000s

    Not knocking your price and understand the scales of economy.

    Either way 59$ delivered....with grub screw is probably a good good price.
