    Just wanted to add that that lift was with car at normal height if I put it into off-road height and then extended the lead screw out to contact the chassis rail the suspension would not droop as much from the static height during the lift hence you should get a better clearance under the wheel.

    For my 2 Bobs worth - I have been using an aluminum (less weight to carry around) low line trolley Jack. It will fit under the lower control arm with the tyre flat & will also lift the flat tyre off the ground on full extended suspension.
    Works for me.

    Bloody hell… 15-20kg of trolley jack for the rare/occasional flat tyre?

    When driving around home I just carry tyre plugs and the standard jack. The standard jack is a disaster waiting to happen but is there as a backup to the tyre plugs.

    When going away I take the hydraulic jack I use on my 101. It has the lift but a bit high when down for the RRS. I just use the standard jack to lift the car a bit (doesnt get into the danger zone) then just put the hydraulic under and up the car goes.

    Easy peasy.

    Just on hi lift jacks - I have mine since 1978 and rarely use it - too dangerous and the old series did fall off it once and it has sconed me on the head. What I have found that when bogged, even in something like a series is that the jack is right down and there is no room to use the handle as the ground is too close - then you dig a hole to allow the handle to be used but the base can move and make the thing even more dangerous. I still have the high lift but it now lives around the side of the house not used.
